The hiking trail we went on to see the petroglyphs was about a mile long. It's known locally as Box Canyon, where the Indians would drive the deer to a boxed in canyon so they could corral them and have ready made meat on the hoof. The canyon part is made of a natural rockfall and there's some water there, as well.

Another historic roadsidegas station/ market on Rte 66



On another day off, we hiked to some petroglyphs, which were right off a portion of Rte 66. Right across the road from the hiking trail was a local "snow bowl" for tubing and skiing during the winter.


We were supposed to start work on May 15, but, they started us a day early. For me, in the front office, it was basically a refresher course on how to use the computer system, because the last time we worked for KOA was the summer of 2008. For about the first week or two, I was working split shifts, four hours in the morning, four hours at night, because at this campground, most of the campers leave by 10am, on tours or driving themselves up to the Canyon. With no one in the campground, there is really nothing to do in the office.

I think it was the second week that we were here, it snowed one day. It really didn't stay on the ground that long, but, while it did, it was beautiful...cold, but, beautiful...
