Castle Rocks, City of Rocks, Idaho

I came to the City of Rocks and Castle Rocks for the month of May to volunteer with little understanding about what I would do except give tours of some sort. I had driven through the area about ten years ago and liked it. After a quick phone call and a check of my references, I was hired for the volunteer gig. I was sure all would turn out and it would be a happy month. How could it not be happy? I was going to where rocks are 2.5 billion years old.

City of Rocks, Idaho

Cold, rainy, and snowy; that was yesterday morning.  At the top of the City (Emery Pass) I heard there was 4 inches of new snow in the morning.  In the afternoon, the dogs and I got itchy feet and headed up into the City.  Up I drove and found it snowing.  I had a hat and my hood on my head trying to keep out the bitter cold wind.  And then… I was rewarded for my effort to see the City; the sun started shining, the air was clear, the wind died, and few people were in the City.  I felt like I had the entire City to myself; to slowly explore the nooks and crannies.  It was special. Here are some photos from yesterday.
