On labor day, I made a trip to the City of Rocks with Megan, Richie, Sarah, and 3 furry friends (Callie, Ruby, and Lil' JR). We camped near the Twin Sisters, and this is the view from our campsite.
The weather didn't quite cooperate, so I spent some time driving around on the back roads with Callie. The landscape was desolate, but beautiful.
The Twin Sisters (below) were a landmark on the California Trail. Something like 100,000 people passed through this valley in one summer around 1850. If they would have waited a few years, they could have just taken the train.
The remnants of the California Trail can still be seen cutting through the sagebrush.
Callie had a good time sniffing from the back seat.
