Totally exhausted after the tour that took much longer than the projected 1.5 hours, we flopped in our bed and didn't want to move.
We were graced with several Turkey Vultures soaring over the parking lot on our way back to the pups (and kitty).
However, as we were traveling down the pass, we happened upon a sign that said, 'Native American dwelling' and yes, you guessed it, had to take a peek.
The trail is lined with plant life and explanations of how the Native American's utilized the different plants for food, blankets and shoes. A cliff ledge that shaded the canyon was at the end of the trail, and this is the ancient home of the Native Americans.
A purple flowered bush was nearby with an odd flying something-or-other that I have never seen before, I'm still not sure what it is!
*******Update: we have found the following*******
******* is a White-lined Sphinx Moth *******
*******Thanks Carol *******
We made our way, now completely and utterly exhausted to the Guadalupe Mountains National Park. And more on that beautiful place later!
