A New challenge by @keithboone
You can enter a photo, poem, story, or anything you have relating to mountains! You can drop your link in the comments here- MountainMonday
I am a flatland prairie girl, so maybe these don't actually qualify as mountains, but they seemed pretty mountainous to me! Plus, I've been looking for a reason to share them.
These were taken on a drive down into the west end of the Grand Canyon from Peach Springs, Arizona going down to the Colorado River.
We drove on the unpaved road much of the day only to be disappointed to not be able to reach the Colorado because of a sudden rain storm. The road started turning into a small river and since we had no cell service and had not seen another person all day, and the sun was setting, we decided it was foolish to continue on.
It was a grand canyon adventure!

Beautiful place, I would call them mountains. It all in perspective with sizes of things. Glad you turned around or that you did not get washed away.
Love

Awesome photos. If you get far enough in the canyon, I think they count as mountains :) We went on 4x4 passes in Colorado lots when I was younger. Many have been closed to jeeps now and you have to hike in.

howdy there melinda010100! wow what fun but I think you made the wise decision to head back! Did you guys have a 4 wheel drive?

Yes, we did!![image](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://img.esteem.ws/j5te6336vd.jpg)
And we sold it as soon as we got home from that trip out west. Around here you couldn't even park the thing in a grocery store parking lot space! We had fun with it out West though!

ha! what in the world? why can't you park it there? That's the typical vehicle here in Texas, we're really odd because we don't have one yet!

I think the lanes in the parking lots must be narrower? At least it felt that way and we were tired of backing up twice to get into a parking spot!

It was a tied game and they won with a field goal in the last 3 seconds. It was a nail biter. Yeah Rogers is playing great. He has an injured knee and is wearing a brace but he still does his magic.

Looks like a great trip. Even though I leave near some real mountains, some of my favorite pics and videos are in the foothills!

I agree that the tree covered foothills are often just as lovely as the barren rocky slopes!

I call those mountains for sure! I love the erosion patterns on the rocks. It's a good thing you didn't continue driving down that dirt road, you could have run into a flash flood!
Thanks for contributing to MountainMonday! resteemed :)

We were aware of the danger and knew we had to get out of there but we were so disappointed to have to stop short of the river with only a mile or so to go!

Jim told me that if I brought home any more he would need a bigger truck. But I did not have the necessary knowledge to do more than find ones I thought were pretty! Wish I could do that entire trip all over again
