Early morning over the Galiuros
Morning light on the trail
Perfect example of high desert grassland
The deep canyon of Sycamore Creek
The trail heads over to that saddle
The deer weren't shy
Powers Garden Spring, water or tea
A very narrow canyon leading up
An old stone dam
The trail was easy to find and hard to follow
Field Canyon Spring
Small campsite above the spring
Looking back across towards East Divide
Thick growth along the West Divide
Sections of good trail
Warm afternoon light on the western face of the Galiuros
The last light across the valley
Bright morning sun
Two old posts still holding a line of wire
Looking out through the gap of Kielberg Canyon
The sign whispers the junction
One of many old, decaying cabins out here
Good-bye, West Divide
