| no partners | | On a whim, I decided to go check out Sinking Ship and the Indian Ruins. I parked at Buggeln picnic area east of Grandview at GCNP and hiked northwest. Once at the rim, was treated with great views between SS and Coronado Buttes...
On faint game-trails, I traversed and plucked my way westward, along nasty overgrowth to the saddle of SS. Highly recommend long pants and sleeves in this area...I was an itchy, scratched up mess by the time I got back to my vehicle.
I initially wanted to climb the Ship (Class IV); being solo, prudence and better judgment got the better of me. I did find the large metate (near the south end) and the ruins and grainery (near the north-east) end. (I have GPS waypoints if interested).
I look forward to going back and climbing it someday soon... |
