Today was a great hiking day, with a high around 65/70. Decided to do a bit of exploring by hiking up past the Anniversary Narrows. Little did I realize Lovell Wash continues up and up (the direction I picked went all the way to the Muddy Mountains), but I had to turn around when I was about 2/3 down on water.
Quite enjoyable, with many different rock formations and types - the geology was simply fascinating. Two dry falls to negotiate, but both were easy. Also, had a pair of Phainopepla chase me about 100 m up the wash - funny little buggers.
Next time, I'll have to take more water so I can continue exploring.

N.B.: After looking at a map some more, I likely hiked more like 14 miles. Well, I was never good with estimating distance.
