This incredible park is located in far SE Arizona and only sees about 56,000 visitors per year. The otherworldliness of the place is very difficult to photograph, however it is a place that is not to be missed.

Nice series, Bruce. Hope you also went to nearby Fort Bowie, which has some very interesting trails and ruins. In fact, that entire area south of Tucson has some great spots.

Very cool! I had never heard of this place before, but it looks like a place I may need to check out. I really like the 3rd one with the tree.

We drove to the trailhead of Ft. Bowie and decided that the 1.5 mile hike would not be worth it with the hikes we were doing later in the day. Mistake. We also went to Kartchner Caverns and Tombstone, both worth the time.

Its quite a place, but hard to photograph. I went with a non-photographer friend and it was just as well.

Bruce, the whole series is great, but the one of that incredible tree is a wowzer. Thanks for sharing. KUDOS.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.
