Desert Hike

Today I went over west of Delta and did some hiking in the Cottonwood Canyon area.  I usually hike down into the bottom, but not today.  I found some really interesting rock rectangular blocks.  Many looked almost like they had been cut that way.  There were a few signs of spring coming to the desert too. I noticed from the canyon rim that a grand old ponderosa in the bottom had died. I sat to eat lunch under it several times. Another pine beetle victim.  It was a very cool day and fairly breezy.  Hiking is always good....to me!
