Aug 1 - Mountains South of Sombrerete
There's some very beautiful painted mesas and rock formations just south of Sombrerete that can be seen from the road linking Sombrerete, Suchil and Chalchihuites. Finally I decided to go on foot and explore the area a little.
 |
| A foreboding rock landscape. The rocks vary in size from pebbles to as big as SUVs. |
 |
| Odd looking cactus' and colorful moss growing out of the mesa face. Sorry, I'm not much of botanist. |
 |
| The Sombrerete-Suchil road. Looking North towards Sombrerete |
 |
| The Sombrerete-Suchil road. Looking west towards the Durango-Zacatecas border. |
 |
| Rancher trail that runs close to the road. |
 |
| Rocky stream that runs just off the horse trail. |
