Mt. Graham

This past weekend we had made plans to kayak and camp along the Gila River for a few days, but our plans were sadly thwarted when it turned out that the river was too low.  A backup plan was created: camping up on Mt Graham, in the Pinaleno Mountains.

We camped with a few of my new coworkers, and found a great little campspot along Grant Creek, about five miles from the top of the mountain range.  I'd never been up into this mountain range before, and it's incredibly beautiful.  Luckily, we brought a few good tarps along, because we got rained on all night.  Poured on.  Hailed on!  Despite the rain, we managed to cook a tasty dinner, enjoy some wine, and have a great time.

I'm back in Gallup for a few day this week, and then I'm headed up to Wyoming for a little road trip action with Mom and Arlie.  And then Josh and I are going to backpack down to Havasu Falls in the Grand Canyon!  Should be a pretty awesome couple of weeks, and there are guaranteed to be many pretty photos.
