John and I went on a great hike on the Badlands trail near Indio! Sections were rigorous, but all the rock formations were quite interesting!The rock formations were fascinating and it was a gorgeous day for a hike!!Every direction held unique rock structures as we walked along the trail!!We discovered quite a few arches in among the rocks!!Some of these formations made me think about Zion National Park!!John and I had fun walking along the narrow paths. We had to be cautious to not slip on the uneven slopes on the trail!!We saw so many strange rocks. Here, the rock appeared to be “dripping” down the hill!!This “stairway to heaven” sign was posted by someone to highlight a steep cascade of steps and rocks up a hill!!I enjoyed seeing so many odd rocks!!I liked this arch we noticed in the midst of these small caves!!We saw these people ahead of us on the trail and knew we needed to climb up the hill and then would walk along a narrow ridge!!Once we got to the top of the hill we had quite a ways to walk along a fairly narrow ridge!!Looking back it was interesting to see such rugged rock formations with Indio in the distance!!I am glad it was not windy as we walked along the ridge!!These hikers with walking sticks had a great view from the trail to see Indio down below!!This friendly lady was walking along the ridge we just passed. She provided a great perspective!I loved seeing the softness of the gorgeous clouds along with the roughness of the rock formations!!It was fun to walk along such a fun trail and see so many beautiful scenes!! It was a great hike, but I was tired after we finished the hike!!
