| no partners | | Five friends and I drove from Flagstaff to the Wahweap Campground, set up our tents, and then drove back toward Page about 300 yards on Highway 89. We took a two track road about two miles southwest, parked, and then continued walking along the two track. The road eventually ended under twin high voltage towers. From there we kept walking northeast until we saw the two foot post sticking out of the rock that marks the start of the Ropes Trail. The trail/ route follows a diagonal crack to the southwest. There were two places where we had to down climb and two other places where there were fixed cables. The total drop was about 700 feet. We spent about 4 hours by the Colorado River fishing, "swimming", and just hanging out. I did catch a rainbow trout that I later had for dinner. The hike down was rather warm as we were in full sun. We waited long enough for shade to cover the first part of the climb. We spent the night at the campground.
We walked out to Horseshoe Bend on our way back to Flagstaff the next day. |
