As evening approached, the temperature dropped becoming very comfortable.  We decided to ride on in the coolness of the evening desert.  The fragrance of sagebrush hung like a light blanket in the air.

The sky behind us at sunset dawned a cloak of red, orange and yellow.  The eastern sky in front of us changed its colors to lavender, pale pink and baby blue tinged at the horizon with midnight blue.  Bright dots of starlight appeared in the eastern sky.

Great Basin National Park, Nevada

 

We made a special stop to view an Indian village but were disappointed to find that after the excavation, vandals hit the village.  Thus, the park service covered the site back up leaving only small markers where the village was.
