Jim's Christmas 2007 Picture Gallery

Here is a set of photos of a few of the places I visited in 2007. I hope you like them. There are 22 of them, so it may take a little time for them to all load. Also, most of them are sized so as to require scrolling to see them entirely.

Nakai Mesa in Copper Canyon. This is a 1500' cliff with a great trail going up and then across 16 miles down the other side, across another canyon, and back up 2000' Paiute Mesa. This is so far out into the wilderness that I actually felt uncomfortable being there! Vehicle tracks at the base of a huge dune in Cane Valley. Looking East from Roof Butte in the Chuska Mountains. Shiprock can be barely seen off in the distance. Looking back from the top of Nakai Mesa in Copper Canyon. More dunes in Cane Valley.

Another panorama from Roof Butte in the Chuska Mountains. Where the dune meets the rock. Look closely for a spring tank under the overhang. This is a huge dune. The driveway to 93-year old Henry Lane's summer sheep camp, where I camped for a couple days. His winter camp is on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon! Rock art just Northwest of Tuba City. The Colorado River at Lee's Ferry. Nice camping here.
