Green and Enchanting - Graduation Canyon

End of April, 2017:

Pajarito Environmental Education Center Passport II post at Graduation Canyon point overlook.


When I saw this, I thought how much my 4 year old grandson would enjoy it. To him, it would be huge forest! Graduation Canyon is a tiny, green canyon very close to the heart of downtown Los Alamos, accessed either from East Park/Los Alamos Mesa Trail or from Pine Street Playlot.
I hadn't been here for a long time so had forgotten the towering rock formations. Hidden up above are "mansions" on Rim Road. Understand that my definition of a mansion is colored by the fact that I live in a 50 year old government built Group 18 house.
A man-made wonder reposes in the canyon. Wonder the year, make and model? Doesn't look driveable!

A very new-looking bridge!
