Sitting Bull Falls

This morning Barbara and I got up at 6:30am to go to see Sitting Bull Falls before the crowds arrived. We were in luck as we only encountered one other visitor while we were there. As it turned out, we arrived at the same time as the ranger who opened the gate. On the drive there Barbara and I were wondering if there was going to be any water when we arrived. The first thing we asked the ranger was, “is there any water for the falls?” He said there was, so our trip wasn’t for not. It’s amazing how things in the desert change, as far as vegetation goes, when there is water present. Take a look!

The park hosts look a little parched.

These Prickly Pare Cactus seem to be able to grow anywhere.
