Goat Canyon

Same shot as the previous but this time looking southward toward Goat Canyon.  The south side of the this range is characterized by an endless serious of rolling mountains, the north side by flat desert.  The range we are standing on and the next range over is separated by Carrizo Gorge.  Goat Canyon "T's" into Carrizo Gorge along the direction of this photograph.  Goat Canyon lies just behind Susan. 

The interested reader is invited to review the travelogue of a hike taken one year earlier down Carrizo Gorge and over the Goat Canyon trestle.  It was much more difficult and slower than this route - about 3hrs per mile.
