The road winds up the hill side, looking down, over the side , we realized how high we were going, the road becomes a wash board ,from cars going up and down too fast, we met 2 trucks, and both were driving at a break neck speed!!! good grief, you really dont want to go over the side here, nothing to stop you other then the odd ,giant cactus!!! The weather stayed cloudy, no rain though, because of the cloud, the colors were very subdued, mostly a beautiful, soft sage green, light orange, and the browns of the rocks. And, it was so quiet, just not a sound, not a bird song, nothing.
