Today was my second time up on top of this mesa, and definitely the windiest! HOLY SHIT! We felt really bad for anyone launching a boat down the Colorado River on that day! As you can see (if you zoom in) people are preparing to do just that. I was having a hard time standing up in the wind, and then it started to rain. I’m glad this time I drove most the way up this hill, and was not backpacking it and camping like the first time (when I walked from Loma, Colorado to Mt. Trumbull, AZ on my own version of the Hayduke).
The dust devils definitely made this incredible vista even more otherworldly.
