El Morro National Monument (Day 2)

I broke camp early after eating a little breakfast and then waited for the park to open at 9am. The following are pictures from walking by “Inscription Rock” and from hiking to the top of El Morro:

El Morro was known as a watering hole for travelers in the area since it was the only water source for fourty miles around. The water gets collected in small bond at the base of the cliff from snowmelt and rain water run off. Like all National Parks in this country, this was top-notch and the camping was excellent. El Morro is not a big attraction but worth checking out if you are in the area.
