On the scond day of the weekend - most of us visited a nearby canyon

The beautiful area near Gooches Crater is not protected in any national park. Nearby is a large coalmine. The area was in the original proposal for Gardens of Stone National Park but was left out when the park was declared.

Most of us then headed to a nearby canyon
