el dorado mountains

[goofball]

had a nice spring hike in the el dorado mountains west of the colorado river and south of hoover dam yesterday. other than wind blowing me over when on the windward rim it was a fantastic day due to the ever changing lighting from a front moving thru.

I love the contrast of the dark rocks against the lighter soil, and brush! That is a very striking landscape and great photos I would like to be there right now!
