Kyle wanted to go back to First Water Creek, to see if there was more water after recent rains. There was.
People who don't live in the desert will probably wonder about this odd fascination with a little water. We don't see much of it, though, so flowing water is a big event.

The view ahead, this time with sunshine. Shadows are very dark this time of year.

A trickle of water is flowing in the first canyon.

A lot of water is flowing through here.

Small "rapids" provided "music" for the hike.

The water almost looks like it would be fun to play in, but the air was 45F and the water was probably colder.

HDR images bring out that which is hidden in shadows.

Close to the road, there are several wrecked vehicles in the canyon. A lot of motorists seem to go off the road on these twisting mountain roads.
