We were rockin down Highway 10 to Lordsburg, New Mexico. Our first travel day in 9 months! We rode 147 miles takin it easy on our first day of travel.

Traveling from Tucson to Lordsburg on route 10, halfway between Tucson and the New Mexican border, we passed through “The Texas Canyon.”

As we’re driving by I thought these rocks are so cool I need to take pictures, I’m glad I did. The rocks are what makes this canyon so unique. The rock formations are made up primarily of granite and metamorphic rock. The area has a long and complex geologic history, with rocks that range in age from approximately 1.4 billion years old to just a few million years old.

One of the most striking features of Texas Canyon is the dramatic cliffs and towering spires that rise up from the desert floor and boulders that balance on top of each other.

The Texas Canyon is a Nature Preserve with a museum and lots of great trails that take you up close and personal to the rocks.

Checked the website and saw these rocks. I know I want to go here when we’re headed back this way. You never know what your gonna see.

We arrived safe and sound at the KOA site #8 in Lordsburg, NM. Have a goodnight everyone.
