| no partners | | I haven't visited this cool view since last year so I decided to have a little personal Easter sunrise service at the altar of the Superstitions (and Goldfields). I took the lazy way up via 4x4 on the "smooth/graded road" to the turnaround. The road is getting pretty gnarly, but I managed to make it up there.
The path up and across the mesa is really clear now. A far cry from my first visit many years ago. The skies were cloudless and clear when I started up, so I knew it wouldn't be a color show, but the views up top are pretty amazing, no matter the sky conditions. The weather was perfect, the temp in my truck showed 50 degrees as I started up.
The quiet of the sunrise was broken up by the sudden surge of motorcycles, cars pulling boats and someone over at Acacia Rec Area with an impressive soundsystem blasting Mariachi music. So much for peace and solitude, but I was all alone up on the cliffs and that was nice.
After exploring down close to the bottom of the cliff, I turned back and made my way back across the massif and down the steep mini-chute back to my truck.
Always a treat to hit this one. I think another visit to this location for some Milky Way shooting will be in my future. Such amazing views towards the western Supes. |
