Since we were busy yesterday morning and too lazy to head out the rest of the day, we decided to head over Baxter Pass today for a few hours. Here's a few photos from our morning.

Great colors

Another old cabin along the way

After making it back to Highway 139, we spent some time exploring the rock art in Canyon Pintado, but I will have to post those photos later when I have a chance to go through them. Stay tuned!

Here's a few photos from Canyon Pintado that I promised. We only stopped at a few of the site because it was getting pretty hot out, but Amanda and I are planning on another trip in the fall when it cools down.
