Got a rental for the weekend so I could drive! I really missed driving!
Fields of gold by El Paso Peaks
On the way to Klinker Mtn
My first Desert Candle sighting
Biggest one was waist high on me
We found a cool cave after bagging Klinker Mtn

Thank you Cori, I don't think I have ever seen a Desert Candle. Cool.
Piece of cake.

Those Desert Candles are really cool looking, are they only indigenous to that area?

thanks kgw and maverick! That was the first time I saw the Desert Candle, so I'm not sure. Beautiful flower though! The stem is hollow!
