No riding of motorcycles today, it was overcast the whole day and the sun barely showed itself for more than a few minutes in the late afternoon.
Still, it did reach 70°F (21°C) by 3 PM which enabled me air up the tires with the air temperature at that point. I'm going with 70 PSI vice 65 PSI to see how things go.
Today's sunrise prelude was quite nice and I managed to catch it in time for the most part. It was a bit chilly at 40°F (4°C) but not too bad as there was no breeze.

the Valley of the Gods road.
The Seven Sailors Rock formation
It wasn't much of a hike, perhaps 1/4 to 1/2 mile tops though it was rough terrain with lots of sand and rock to make things interesting.
So, this is what the Seven Sailors looks like from the other side, I couldn't get a full profile as the rock formation actually bars the way in the way it's shaped.

Great photos...a beautiful place!
I can imagine that a hike (and getting lost) in this area is way more dangerous compared to straying my neck of the woods where I am in fairly close distance to civilisation.
Somehow Blogger seems to have eaten my first comment. Anyway, looks like a hike in this area is way more dangerous compared to straying and getting lost in my neck of the woods where you are always in close proximity of villages or towns.
Not easy to get lost but real easy to turn an ankle or worse SonjaM....
Using a tent as a placeholder is a smart idea. Better than barricades for sure. Also make any no-gooder think twice about messing with your stuff if they think another person(s) is around somewhere.
I hadn’t realized that second benefit of using a tent CCjon, thanks!
