Wonderful light for this view.

Any idea how this gulch got its name?

I don't really know. It is only referenced in a few maps and they tend to be older ones.

What a cool name Kurt. I don't recall seeing that name before, but it sure is a cool and unusual name.

And great job working the light.

Absolutely gorgeous backlight! And just the right amount of bringing up the shadows. A wall hanger.
