Woodies everywhere! Great series of shots, Val. I heard somewhere that some bird species will congregate in spots like that in order to find mates. Don't know if that's the case here, but that sure is a crowd.

Nice collection! I can't believe that I go down Hwy 14 every two or three weeks on the way to Mammoth and have never even heard of that canyon.
