| no partners | | We started making great time until we reached that dreaded 1 1/2 mile of non existing trail right at Snow Peak. I suggested that we just bush whack our way straight up to snow peak and forget about snaking around the side since the trail was sheer guessing. My hiking partner gpsjoe however suggested we stay the course. In retrospect we should have just gone straight up it couldn't have been any worse than snaking along the side which slowed us down tremendously.
When we reached Snowshed Saddle and looked at the time, I decided to try to use my cell phone to call home and tell my husband that perhaps we may not make it out in daylight so please DON'T call the rangers. (I was surprised to have had excellent cell coverage.)
Once on more stable ground we made up time and still got out in daylight.
One final scare though - when we got back to (what we thought was) the trailhead and according to GPS it was, my car was no where to be found!  The sheer thought of having to walk who knows how far to get help (no cell coverage in the canyon) made me look around and hope for a miracle. As I started to leave the parking lot and turned right.. there was my car! We did not realize that there were two lots, one at a lower level and yet still in the same GPS proximity.
If I ever wanted to kiss my car it was right then. |
