Yesterday we scrambled down the high wall of the Little Colorado River Gorge to Blue Spings at the river. This is a remote region on the Navajo reservation just outside Grand Canyon National Park. There isn't a trail just a cairned route and requires a lot of scrambling, some with exposure - not for the casual hiker. The area above Blue is still flowing from the monsoon so the water is currently muddy. The road in is long and requires HC 4x4 - I hit bottom many times. Quite the adventure! Heading back in 2 weeks for a through trip on the river so hold for no more rain so the upper flow stops and the blue water re-emerges. : )
