Mine Vault Trail to Agua Caliente Saddle

Another gorgeous day at Madera Canyon.  From our RV we look at the beautiful Santa Rita Mountains. We are getting to know the names of some of the peaks.  Mt. Wrightson is the highest point around here.  Elephant Rock is one of the most interesting from all angles but I haven't been able to get a good picture of it.  These peaks and canyons look almost surreal from the Valley.  And from the peaks and canyons the Valley looks surreal.

This hike was very steep and we didn't actually get as far as we had hoped.  Once we reached the sign to the saddle we realized we had a long way to walk down!  And it took longer to go down than to go up.  Baby steps!  We had sore legs for a couple of days after this.

 The sky is sooooooooooo blue here and so clear when up in Madera Canyon.
