Organ Mts.

Went for a nice hike up the local Organ Mountains the other day. I really wanted to get to a higher point but I got a late start and didn't quite get as far as I wanted. Some day I will make it to the top. Here are just a few pictures of my little hike.


The plants are so unique. Here we have Ocotillos, Agaves, and Yuccas.


A prickly pear cactus growing out of the top wall on this abandoned old house.


Chimney Rock with yuccas.


Old rock house and cliffs.

Soledad Canyon. I saw a huge rattle snake here but couldn't get a picture of it before it zipped back down its hole.
