Healthy Sage-Steppe, so nice to see!

The Paintbrush was particularly beautiful

I spent the weekend in the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada.  The original plan was for a remote Owyhee Canyonlands adventure, but the weather reports had other ideas.  Too easy to get stuck out there on those roads when there is precip, so we headed to Sheldon where we knew there would be good access and slightly better weather.  It has been a cool, wet spring and the high elevation sage here was in rare form.  Flowers everywhere and amazing plant variety.  Excluding cattle and feral horses/burros has been an amazing thing for this country.  It was magical to explore the canyons and wide open spaces here for a couple of days.

Thousand Creek Canyon, always a favorite!
