#Hiking the Box Canyon and Kitchen Mesa #trails at #GhostRanch, #NewMexico
It took some exploring to find our way out of the box canyon to the top of the box: the old trail has washed out. Then more wandering to find a route around the deep canyon and over to Kitchen Mesa.
The top of Kitchen Mesa is startlingly white: the Todilto formation, dolomite and gypsum. The Kitchen Mesa trail goes through the old Ceolophysis #dinosaur quarry. The whole area is beautiful Colorado Plateau #geology.
