Texas Canyon Rest Area

About an hour east of Tucson on Interstate 10 is the Texas Canyon Rest Area. I almost always stop there – whether I am headed to or from Tucson. Last week, I was headed to the city after a very long day of driving from Texas. It had been very cold when we left the Dallas area and still cold when we left Abilene…but the day had begun to be warmer by the time we passed through El Paso and we were glad to leave our coats in the car. The stop as Texas Canyon was very pleasant and I took a few pictures of the rocks.

It was sunny afternoon with enough clouds to make the sky more than a blue backdrop – if I didn’t zoom in too much. It was the desert in winter – but the rocks are the highlight of this landscape all the time.
