A marvelous and awe-inspiring off-trail hike in the Eldorado Nature Preserve today. Strenuous, especially in terms of loose footing and avoiding large cacti, but definitely worth the effort.

We skirted the cliffs and a few ravines, climbed to the mesa top, and then went down the rock chimney we explored a few months back.

The magnificence of the rock cliffs, boulders, and vast vistas is breath-taking.
