This image was taken from a spot along the 4WD Geology Tour Road.  We'd hiked to Balancing Rock, which is on the opposite side of the road.  I used my Tamron 300mm telephoto lens to take this photograph.  Photo by Scott Schwartz.  All rights reserved.

This was taken from a spot that is known as "Robber's Roost."  Robber's Roost is thought to have been the hide-out of outlaw Tiburcio Vasquez and his men, while they were planning the robbery of nearby Freeman Station- a stage-coach stop.
