San Lorenzo Canyon

San Lorenzo canyon is in the outback of the Sevilleta Refuge. After we left Interstate 25 it was a leisurely drive for about 2 miles to a narrow tunnel back under the Interstate that takes you to about 5 miles of dirt road that will shake the dust out of you, and your vehicle, ha ha. As we entered the canyon area we spotted a grey form moving up a ridge. The binoculars brought it in, unfortunately the camera didn't have the horsepower. A coyote or wolf would stop and look at us also as he/she went about his/her business. As it was a couple hours after sunrise and the animal was not shy I tend to thin it was a wolf. Wolves here are only slightly larger than coyotes. Only slightly less difficult to photograph is this creature.

Then we get to the canyon. It is impressive and on a scale I can handle. I am uncomfortable when overwhelmed by "majestic' things.

And a flower. There are more than 20 varieties of Cholla cactus
