On the road out of beautiful Monarch Canyon
After a short walk down the canyon to take a few photos that I missed yesterday after my film ran out, I'm finally on my way.
On the way out, I pass a couple in a large pick-up truck coming down the road, the first people I've seen in two days.
It turns out that they are headed up toward Chloride Cliff and didn't realize that they made a wrong turn down Monarch Canyon Road. I encourage them to continue to the end of the canyon to see it, since it's so short and scenic, before returning to their route on Chloride Cliff Road.
