Beautiful desert scenery is along the way... even Indian pottery pieces are laying about. Hotschott found one in the road as we made a stop for photos along the way...

To the south of the entrance to Rattlesnake Canyon is this interesting rock hill... so, do not pass 'Butt Rock' if you want to see the petros!

Here's Hotschott in front of one...
