Mine Peak/Canyon Sin Nonbre 12/27/2021
It is a cold and windy morning, at least where we are parking.
Not much wind here.
Our group picture. John and Neal already started up.
Steve and Hersch. Wit is going around.
Canyon Sin Nombre.
Is it getting too hot?
Somebody spilled some colors.
Are we there yet? Yes this is the Mine Peak.
Wit also made it up. Agent #N… not to be shown.
We are going down to the badlands while John, Wit and #N are going down back to the cars.
After steep drop it is getting easier.
Our ridge down.
Caves with stairs up.
Amazing badlands.
Almost down.
Sunny lunch place.
Colors are showing up.
We need to do several up and downs to get to…..
Canyon Sin Nombre.
Let’s do the slot canyons.
Love slot canyons.
Cool canyon.
It is a Yellow Canyon up…
And White Canyon down. At the squeeze.
Almost out.
More colors.
Looks like a waterfall, just a silver vein.
The cold windy weather front is back in.
We are off the wind at the closed rec center.
Lenticular clouds equal high winds however half of the wind mills are not turning. WHY SDG&E??
