Steeple Rock

We have a picture of my grandmother on top of steeple rock, but we're not sure how she got there! We spent a fun (white-knuckled, scary) afternoon driving through the desert on cow paths trying to find a road that would take us to steeple rock to climb. We never got close enough, but we had a good time! Most importantly, we didn't get stuck and we came back alive!

While looking for the road we drove down a canyon into a wash. There was a windmill there with a water tank and some cattle and farther down the wash we found a volcanic outcropping of rock with crystals and geodes buried in it. We stopped and did a little rock collecting.


Some rocks we found had crystals inside, others were just rocks.


Mookie was a great help!


Dallin found a bunch to bring home and share with his friends.
