Geo 365: August 20, Day 232: Looking Back

Looking from the trailhead, back to the rim of Sand Mountain, the fire watch tower can be seen through the limbs of the trees. Also, you can see a little of the severe erosion from the previous day's storm under the gate. These gullies made walking something that needed close attention. No one twisted an ankle, but it would have been easy to do if one was too distracted by the scenery.
