RE: #MyCalifornia: Afton Canyon Natural Area
Thank you for taking into this trip to learn a new place, Afton canyon looks really amazing, it is interesting just when you see shield you do not have any mountainous are in sight but then there is a magnificent rocks with different colors due to minerals, I like that combination of red and white and the possibility to explore caves too. I believe some people probably stay in cave for a while or may be have a overnight stay too. Is it allowed? You dog looks like really enjoyed its freedom, the video with Bighorn sheep crossing the road, that was speedy ones, they even did not stop while running up the hill. Beautiful national treasure area.
Thank you so much for joining the ride! It makes so much sense how the land looks once I learned about Lake Manix. The basin of the desert really is flat as you'd expect the bottom of a lake to be. So when that sudden rush of water broke through, it caused such a cut through any earth in its way. Now, any time it rains, more of the mud cliffs melt away and the rocks tumble down.
People have lived here for thousands of years. There are lots of petroglyphs in this region, many of them celebrating those swift Bighorn Sheep which could feed the tribe.
I have so much more to learn!
