Shiprock—Tsé Bitʼaʼí, “rock with wings” or “winged rock” to the Navajo people—rises a dramatic 1,583 feet above the desert floor of North-Western New Mexico.

El Moro has drawn wanderers across the arid landscape of present day New Mexico. Over the hundreds of years that people have been passing through, they have left markings on the stone.

We learn to be handy on the road….

Camping among the Superstition Mountains
Good morning

Mistakes and lessons learned in the Superstition Mountains:
The Upper Syphon Draw Trail to the Superstition Mountain’s iconic Flat Iron is marked with occasional light blue spray paint dashes. We didn’t know that on our way up the 2,600-foot ascent.
Not noticing the paint’s presence along the trail, we certainly didn’t notice its absence.

Getting up here wasn’t easy.
That’s what makes it so worthwhile.

We arrived at Petroglyph Canyon shortly after sunrise. The parking lot was empty, and we took our time hunting down petroglyphs and marveling at rock formations. Despite the short length of the trail and starting as the only hikers, our relaxed pace meant that our isolation was disturbed when another couple overtook us at Mouse’s Tank.
By the time we returned to the parking lot, the sun was fully up and we counted four other cars in the lot. I suppose that this trail can get pretty busy at peak hours, but it is such a remarkable trail that I don’t mind sharing it.
