sue and i got back to the park around 1000
we parked at the painted desert inn and took the rim trail south to tawa point
kept hiking on the tawa trail which goes from tawa point to the visitor center
retraced our steps
drove down the park road, stopping at puerco pueblo and newspaper rock
took a break for some chips and salsa at a pullout
then thought we would check out billings gap, another off the beaten path hike
nice to have linda's track to circle around the top of blue mesa
we finished up with blue mesa loop, my only repeat of the trip
nice temps, breezy
sue did well again, and we both enjoyed seeing new scenery
this was a new park for her
john and i made a stop there a few years ago
