  1. How much fun to see a desert landscape on this bitter cold, single digit day. It was cool seeing a person next to the cactus for scale.

    1. I know- it was so pretty- there were a few others that were equally as beautiful but we were there with the sun bright as could be and some photos got pretty washed out. It was an amazing place. That cactus was truly amazing.
