Memorial Day in the Chiricahuas...Wonderland of Rocks

For Memorial Day, the crew took advantage of staying in the Chiricahua Mountains and woke up for sunrise over the Chiricahuas and did a 10 mile hike throughout the Wonderland of Rocks. (AKA Sky Islands). It was incredible. Anyone can find solace here...looking out on a land of lava-turned-rocks, so mesmerizing that sometimes the rocks begin to look like people. It was a perfect way to end our hitches in this area, and a way for everyone to say thank you and good bye.

I won't be the last
I won't be the first
Find a way to where the sky meets the earth
It's all right and all wrong
For me it begins at the end of the road
We come and go...

-Eddie Vedder
