Afternoon shadows, Deep Canyon and beyond

During the week, I don't have an opportunity to drive up the mountains near Deep Canyon, up Highway 74, but last Sunday, I took a friend up with me to the horse ranch, and we came down in the afternoon.  I'm glad we did.  I got to see the shadows of the other mountains on Deep Canyon.  I don't have time now because my school gets out a half hour later than last year and most afternoons, I'm arriving home in the dark.  So, I await the weekends!  Not sure what I'll be doing this weekend.  Hubby is off work and we may drive over to Joshua Tree National Park.
