Early morning glow on ridge above
Hint of the color show ahead
Maples really showing off
An open campsite, would make for great night viewing
Classic east divide view
Easy trail walking
Trail conditions were ridic
The trail threads between two boulders and keeps climbing
Thick growth in the canyon
Climbing out of the canyon
Stone columns line the slope below the ridge
Surprise water source high up on the divide
Corral Tank
Tough route-finding near Kennedy Peak
Haze sitting to the northern basin all afternoon
Dry grass and agave above Corral Canyon drainage
Clean water for filtering along Corral Canyon
Easy strolling on Powers Garden Trail
My only companion this evening
Sun high above my freezing cold canyon
The whole canyon turns over at once
The half-alcove, half-cave near Holdout Spring
The oaks all lean over the trail
The drainage narrows and the maples close in
Big climb out
Fantastic rock formations along the trail
