Sycamore Canyon.

Tahoe is standing in front of some famous pile of rocks.













The six mile trail began at the opening of the canyon. The basalt and rhyolite rock spires were amazing.


















There were numerous swimming holes along the way. They were filled with a rare desert fish, the Mexican Chub.












This canyon has been set aside as a natural research area. There are 624 plant species & 130 bird species in this canyon alone!















Apparantly, it is also a drug smuggling route, as the trail ends at the Mexican border.

















This section of trail was a bit tricky. It was too cold to swim, so we had to go up and around.
















Tahoe had no problem on water-worn sedimentary slick rock.
