Caņon de la Caņada - Ponderosa Area


Shortly after crossing into the main canyon. This canyon is beautiful, but best ridden after a rain.
I new that, but we did it any way. It was work going through the sand, but worth the effort.
It was well into the day before we got here.


Caņon de la Caņada goes between the mesa you see behind the saddle in the center of
this photo and that saddle. We went to the saddle to the right of the big saddle.


















Cool erosion in the sandstone



















We hiked up to a saddle to get a view.






Sad face

This would have been tough on the bikes.

Great lunch stop. The trail in the bottom is our goal.


Someone was here before us... long before.

This section is not for the timid.
There are some great trialsin sections in this canyon.

Heading up the main canyon. Finally out of the grasp of the sand.


The scenery changes constantly and definitely keeps your attention.






Just bunny hop it!




An awesome place. We'll definitely revisit, ... after we get some rain.
