| no partners | | | This was one of four hikes I printed out for our return from Vegas this Sunday morning, the other three near Kingman. All four looked very interesting, but this looked the most intriguing, certain to tackle the others in the future. Rainy morning in Vegas had me hoping for the best, had my heart set on doing this one. Easy enough to follow the trail using AZLOT69's description, though at times other small trails spurred off. The new bypass bridge and the arch came into view through the course of a scenic hike through a couple washes. Beautiful hike that went up and down a few times via some volcanic-type hills, moderate in effort. Cresting the plateau our first view of the river was a big "wow" effect, we moved onto the cliff for more views of the Colorado and surrounding terrain. On the return right by the arch we happened upon a gent named Joe Booze who told us about his encounters with bighorn in the area (all we saw were numerous piles of droppings), and that he is a poet. Lots of downtime on this hike, plenty of beauty to enjoy. ... (Were lucky to discover a gallery of photos by Peter Lik at Caesars's Palace. Incredible photos that sell for, ummm, $4000 each.) |
