Lunch Spot Arch, Dessert Domes, Bonal Springs Rim and One Toe Ridge, Vermilion Cliffs NM, AZ

ByChristian Reading Time: 1 minute


 

After our trip to Spider Butte the day before, Claudia and me met at the Condor Observation Point along House Rock Valley Road to explore a new location along the southwestern rim of the Vermilion Cliffs NM. Besides that new location, which I named as Dessert Domes, we also visited Lunch Spot Arch (a name, we have chosen some time ago), the rim above Bonal Springs (with the big Anasazi ruin) and One Toe Ridge. This was a nice day trip along the southwestern side of the Vermilion Cliffs.

  • Bonal Springs Rim and One Toe Ridge, Paria Plateau, Vermilion Ciffs NM, AZ

    ByChristian Reading Time: 8 minutes

    As we tried last year to reach the rim region above Bonal Springs on the Paria Plateau and were not successful, we wanted to try it this year again. We luckily had perfect weather conditions for this trip and there was no snow on the plateau this year in march. Additionally there was some snow some days ago, which already went away, so that the sand on the Paria Plateau was in perfect condition. To be faster in reaching the Vermilion Cliffs, we decided to stay in the Lee´s Ferry Lodge. The restaurant is supposed to have a huge selection of beers from all over the world.
