Rinconada Scenery

Rinconada Scenery. Only one mile away from the County Line River Access, where we meet the greater part of our guests, is an easily accessible and very interesting short hike. It goes up a dry wash into an area of vertically-sided formations cut into soft sediments. Here are photos of the hike Kathy and me took yesterday (5-20-19). We were wanting to see the wildflower bloom, and were well-rewarded.
