| partners | | A nice loop with varied and unique views. By no means easy.
Two small snakes and one tiny one too. Perhaps a pound total in weight. Bruce found a skunk. Didn't tell me. Told to get out of the area. Kinna backfired as why set in.
Only 2.5 quarts of agua were consumed as the weather was extremely nice for the most part. Wet foliage hampered us with wet feet for twenty miles, otherwise enjoyable. A half-mile and quarter-mile section are the worst parts. No catclaw just plenty to tear you apart if you come unprepared. Arizona rose was thick for long stretches which would destroy a hiker in sandals/shorts.
Intrigued that we hiked "down" canyon. Like most north Mogollon Rim canyons it flows... north
The canyon walls narrow up nicely down to maybe fifty feet in a couple of spots. Lots of easy free solo climbing opportunities for those interested. No desire to redo this one. Nevertheless an experience I will cherish.
video that will touch a nation...

Wildflowers Observation Moderate
No huge fields of iron bleeding yellows.
Plenty of smaller varieties to keep anyone interested engaged for hours. |
