A great day at Sandstone Bluffs with initially cool, windy weather on the bluffs that warmed up quickly – about 70 degrees at lunch at the petroglyph panel near the arch. The fluctuating light was wonderful for viewing and photography.

The group of six First U’s included Pam Bliss, leader who did a great job walking us out from the arch to the cars in 50 min, Judith Parsons & Bruce Newton with their dog Ellie, Manual Lopez, Dawn Leach and Kathleen Rhoad. We saw birds but mainly in quick flight. One was probably a falcon….! And we saw a white buckwheat(?)and a yellow cholla in bloom. We arrived back at the church parking lot at 4:07 pm.

The one photo is of Mt Taylor. You will recognize it. Others are the vistas from Sandstone Bluff and rock formations along the “floor” plus the hikers. Note the snow squalls in the distance. And the homestead ruin where we parked our cars including fireplace.
