Penitente Canyon

The lucky 13 strolled and climbed through Penitente and Witches Canyons on a beautiful spring day. Strange rock formations, trees growing into the rocks, and the balmy weather made it a special morning. The La Garita "Special" sandwich seemed to satisfy most appetites.
They want more, so next Tuesday, we'll try to surmount the taller of the Twin Mountains. That's a relatively short but taxing climb through the forest, then a walk on lava--wear boots; bring stick. Leave the S.F. Visitor Center at 9 a.m.; pick up valley folks at the Tiger's Den (nee Tin Cup) in Del Norte. There's no restaurant on top, so bring lunch. Keep pets at home, please.
