Dominguez Canyons Trip in GE

Those who know me, know I'm a big Google Earth fan. I use it for planning photo trips and so much more.

I'm still working on my Dominguez Canyons trip report, but I have worked through my GPS tracks from the trip and imported them to Google Earth. Take a look!

One more Big Dominguez waterfall photo

Here's another perspective of the large waterfall in Big Dominguez Canyon...

We were lucky to have a powerful thunderstorm passed just North of our sunset photo location. Lucky that we could photograph the storm and even luckier that it didn't dump rain and hail on us!

No Man's Mesa Sunset

A spectacular view was the reward for the difficult climb to this location above Little Dominguez Canyon.

Spring Green Cottonwood

In early May, the Dominguez Canyon cottonwood trees leaf out in their perfect spring green colors. Frequent rain storms over the past few days saturated the colors even more.

Backpacking Dominguez Canyons

I spent 3 days backpacking in the newly created Dominguez Canyons Wilderness, just South of Grand Junction, Colorado. My goals were to explore further into Little Dominguez and some of it's side canyons, and to get a better image of the large, unnamed waterfall in Big Dominguez. Both goals were accomplished!

We had uncommonly rainy weather, but it provided some dramatic skies and kept the temperatures cool. I'll be writing up a detailed trip report with some fun Google Earth gadgetry. But before I get to that, I'll post some images and comments here over the next week or so.
