Looking down Monarch Canyon from the drop-off at the end of the road by my campsite
Monarch Canyon drops off about 70 feet at the end of the road by my camp site. My walk starts here and goes downward. A narrow trail, which is apparently the remains of old mining road, leads downward on my left into the canyon.
It's a bit chilly here, the sun having not been able to shine in and heat up the canyon yet. I see no trace of last night's brief rain storm.
