Desert side of the valley

There is always something interesting and exciting about hiking around the desert side of the valley. There are mountains on both sides... winds generally come from the West in the afternoon but the clouds may roll in from the East in the morning .... clouds may roll in from any direction  and they do. Walking around in the East valley looking West  the High Sierras hold down the horizon in shades of purple. On this day a storm was moving in which dropped lots of rain in selected areas over the next couple days..... but the sun was shining and a stroll thru the sagebrush made me feel good.
