In Jawbone Canyon, a look at a couple of the many, many motorcyle tracks that climb the hills. Many are very steep!

Panoramic view of Jawbone Canyon, looking north. About 1/3 of the way in from the left is Gold Canyon. The white line on the ridge towards the right is part of the Los Angeles Aqueduct.

There were lots of yellow flowers next to the road
|

 |
There were also some lupins, but not as many as the yellow flowers

This green hill doesn't match any of the others

To give you an idea of the size of the LA Aqueduct pipe. And this is only one of two!

In Red Rock Canyon State Park, there was lots of phacelia in bloom. This was at the south entrance to Last Chance Canyon, the route I took into the park.

Round a curve in Last Chance Canyon and this is what you see. I guess this is how the park got its name.

There are lots of yellow flowers here, too.

 |
The flowers weren't all yellow, but there were almost always yellow ones nearby

Red Rock Canyon State Park is just north of Edwards AFB. Today someone was out playing. The contrails lasted about two go-arounds, and they were visible all day. This was taken on the way to Burro-Schmidt Tunnel

Saw a number of these migrating somewhere
