Taking a Break on the Trail


Nikon D100

Gail took a rest stop on our way back up the trail from the canyon floor at Canyon de Chelley in Arizona.

It was a beautiful day, but a bit hot on the trail. This was the only trail that visitors are allowed on without being accompanied by an indian guide.

We went to see the "white house" ruins. I'm picking random shots to post from our vacation. I may get to the pictures from these ruins one of these days.

Cool shot! The bottom left part of the photo looks like it has great depth but I can't really tell.. it could be just a few metres too. Was it a huge drop from the path?

Thanks Lea!

The canyon itself is about 600 feet from the rim to the floor. This trail has some switchbacks with pretty good drops. I would say that this particular spot on the lower left of the picture has an approximately 10 meter drop down to another part of the trail.

Oh cool, so not that far down, relatively of course. I've spent most of my life in the prairies - no canyons anywhere near! Our big canyons are actually ditches, hahah :) I love seeing different kinds of scenery like this.
