My hike in Vantage (56k no, cable; perhaps not) -

I took those as i left an old "service road" as the map called it, and headed towards the cliff side.
Water is about 500+ ft down, there is a second "shelf" cliff below what you can see here.

The bridge is I 90

Im hiking in the "petrified forest". Once a thick forest in ages past these remnants of wood are in fact now rocks. Literally.

A draw known as "hole in the wall".

After a while i turn back and head back along the cliff side. As i get near my off road point i start looking for indicators for the road. The only one in exsistance is this solar weather station that is right next to the road. So im headed the right way.

Road AHOY

A seemingly abandon horse pen or something.

A rock formation near my car.

And the icing on the cake... Me, and my car.
