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. |

| Rancher trail that runs close to the road. |

| Rocky stream that runs just off the horse trail. |

Jun 5 - Sierra Organos
"Parque Nacional Sierra de Órganos" on the Zacatecas-Durango border. So called because the tall jagged mesas resemble church organ pipes. Here's a few photos I took while attempting to climb one.
