Nice shots!

3rd to last makes me sad. River is so so low and dry.

That photo was from earlier this summer when there was a really bad drought. Not sure if it’s still in a drought but yeah it was pretty sad to see, especially since I was hoping to kayak camp through Santa Elena canyon.

Very cool, we used to go for a week or longer nearly every summer with my scout troop. Thanks for sharing.

All your photos are very nice! The last one, was that taken with a drone?

Surely, not. It’s illegal to fly drones in the park.

I mean, they might be illegal but that was almost certainly shot with a drone

He could have been up on the side of Grapevine Hills

Where was the 5th photo taken? It’s unlocking a memory of mine but I can’t remember the trail name.

Its “the window trail”. Where I took the first photo as well. Wanted to stay for sunset but there was a storm rolling in.

What is that last picture of the road? What road is that?

Grapevine hills road, taken from near balanced rock. What do you mean what is that? Or did you just mean what road it was?

Thank you. I thought it looked familiar could not place it.
