Mountain Camping pictures

We went camping in our local mountains a few weeks ago. We camped at Paso Picacho and were able to go to Green Valley Falls twice to enjoy the rocks and little waterfalls. The kids had fun there and enjoyed our camp as well. Below are some pictures that I took of the nature scenes around me. You can see more of my people pics on facebook.
