Sights Along The Trail...


 The terrain along the trail was getting to be too rough for my Subaru, so I stopped.  I'd been driving along trail EP26, in an attempt to reach Sheep Springs in the El Paso Mountains, but the terrain was getting to be too rocky. 

Although I was disappointed, I made the best of the situation- there are always interesting photographic subjects nearby, if one takes the time to look.  So, I captured this image of the deep, red rocks with my Nikon DSLR.

Drone's-Eye View Of Old Mine...El Paso Mountains...


I launched my drone from a spot along trail EP21, which heads south into Iron Canyon.  I love going back to the same spots several times.  It seems as though I discover something "new" each time I visit.

In this case, I'd not noticed these mine entrances previously.  On my next trip, I will drive up for a closer look.
