Nov 10 2016 - Caprock Canyon

Another sunny day in paradise.  After breakfast we head off towards the trailway - this is an abandoned railroad that has been paved to make for an easy bike ride..  The complete trail is  some 65 miles long - but we are just doing the part that gets us to the tunnel.

it staerts off dead straight but soon gets interesting

The bat tunnel - dont breathe in!

Why make a straight tunnel  - a curved one is more fun

safely through...

Back at the park we watched a small herd of Bison stroll down to the lake for a drink, then back up the hill to graze some more.  They are quite majestic creatures.

Then via the Priarie Dogs to our next hike.

We went far enough down the Eagle Point trail to see the "natural arch"...

Then for the final hike of the day - up to the viewpoint on John Haynes Ridge.

Where's Clare?

a bit of scrambling gets you this view

Back at base the sun set as we were making supper.
The perfect end to the perfect day.
