| no partners | | | With only 20% chance of rain predicted as we climbed out of the vehicle the clouds grew dark and thunder shook our resolve. We opted to explore the safer nearby drainage of East Fork Buzzard Canyon. This turned out to be a beautiful lush rainforest. the first few miles followed elk paths and was easy going. Eventually it did canyon-up with limestone and then sandstone walls. We encountered 4 easy down climbs and one waist deep pothole before entering West Fork Oak Creek. 1.5mi or so of rock hopping up canyon we retrieved our shuttle vehicle. This 5 mile hike was a good consolation prize and a good choice as the clouds did bust loose dumping rain and hail around 3pm. |
