Cacti In Fremont County, Colorado (Wellsville, CO and Pinnacle Rock Rafting Point)

Colorado Cacti In Fremont County (May 3, 2006)

	All morning I spent photographing scenery in Fremont County, Colorado. It's a very diverse area with rocky, pinion-covered hills, grand views of the northern Sangre de Cristo Mountain range (from the towns of Howard and Coaldale) and very desert-like terrain in Canon City and Florence. In the adjacent photo, I snapped a shot of a prickly pear in the town of Wellsville.
	Also, right off Highway 50 in Wellsville, I zoomed-in on a flowering "walking stick" cactus.
	A field of walking stick cacti at the Pinnacle Rock rafting area, a point along the Arkansas River (east of Texas Creek, Colorado) that is popular for river rafters to enter and exit the river.
