Sunday, September 15th -- We got both up early, before sunrise, and headed out to get some pics, knowing that we had to be back home within 2 hours to take care of General's morning routine.

There is an area towards the center of the park where the rock formations have a yellow layer. They call these Yellow Mounds, and they have a different composition to them that causes this color difference.

A beautiful sunset was seen from our campground!
