Backcountry of Cathedral Gorge State Park, Panaca, NV
March 23, 2014
Of all the times I've hiked in Cathedral...I have never been to these places. Apparently, I've not been following the correct trail because I've always just come back through the wash. I learned today that there is a trail that I've missed all these years. LOL. Annnyway, my friend Kathi told me about this eagles nest. It was BIG! and thankfully vacant...well, I guess it would have been cool to see an eagle in it but I certainly wouldn't have been able to get too close. The bottom pict is what Kathi calls the hourglass because most of the time there is a steady trickle of sand falling from above. Though sadly, not today. The first pict is a shot from a tall sandy mountain Tonya and I decided to climb to figure out where in the heck we were. LOL. Unfortunately, there was no way to get down from here except the way we came but DANG! it was a beautiful site and beautiful lighting!
