#Blue I had to move to the desert. Not So overjoyed about it but as compensation, Mother Nature gives us amazing sunsets and sunrises. This was looking towards the Sierras, west of Ridgecrest. Soothing blues, salmons and more.
A was taken to another Era to a different world, between Lava Rocks and Canyons! One of my best and hardest hikes ever! The Scenic view it's incredible! I will come back really soon this place is huge to explore
Lone Ridge trail in Ridgecrest is awash in yellows and purples right now. Desert wildflowers make for a beautiful start to this Sunday!
