credri25.jpg These huge boulders lining the road look as though they are about to topple over. credri26.jpg The "rainy season" here is actually from mid-July to mid-September; this photo was taken in late May. A day after this shot was taken, a heavy downpour occurred, hopefully giving these horses a little more to chomp on. credri27.jpg On the road, north of Creel
credrive.jpg Horses and goats and dogs, oh my!!! cresurr5.jpg Many Tarahumaran Indians make their home in these cave-like rocks. cresurr7.jpg May and June are the driest months in the Copper Canyon region.

The falls can also be accessed down the road from here (this also involves a good hike of about half an hour). goats.jpg The road from the main highway into Cusarare is best navigated by high-clearance vehicles (or goats) as it is extremely uneven and filled with large rocks.
