Goat Canyon Trestle

A mountain biker crossing the Goat Canyon Trestle in the Carrizo Gorge.   At 200 feet tall and 750 feet long, this beautiful trestle it the longest, tallest curved wooden trestle ever built in the United States.

I have been wanting to visit this amazing structure located in a remote portion of Anza-Borrego for some time.  A year ago, fellow photographer and writer Bert Gildart hatched a plan to mountain bike old railroad to this trestle.  We were able to complete our plan this past week and it was a blast!

I’m getting ready for another workshop this weekend, but will provide more details and images of this trip next week.

A stormy recent morning at our campground in Borrego Springs.  We have had a nice variety of weather this year – from cold, stormy weather like you see here that brought fresh snow down the mountains, to temps approaching 90!

Laughlin Nevada

Since it has almost been almost a week since I have posted, I though I needed to do an update as to what we have been up to over a busy week.

Recently we have lost out on some photo sales for laughlin photos because my coverage was not current enough – evidently some of the hotel names have changed.  So we ended up doing a quick three day trip over to Southern Nevada.

We then returned to Anza-Borrego for my Anza-Borrego photo workshop along with a private tour – I had a lot of fun, wonderful people and great photo opportunities!   The highlights for me included the amazing sunrise on Sunday morning and watching a young Desert Bighorn nurse just a short distance away from us on Friday morning.  I won’t be sharing photos from those days since I don’t photograph during my workshops, but it sure appeared everyone else got some pretty cool stuff and for me that is very satisfying.
