| partners | | | A part of the state I really haven't been into much so just driving the road in was a sight to see. Pete and I parked his awesome rental car on the side of the highway and began the adventure. We went to the top of the canyon at first to see the views and it was only minutes away from the car so it seemed like a good idea. We then laughed at the fact we went up just to come back down to start to enter the canyon. The area is very interesting, brushy, open and dry at first, then narrow and wet with all the big pools. We were able to stay dry from the knees up which was fine with us. We also avoided the longer rappel as we were able to down climb it without too much trouble. As I was coming down Pete said something like "Oh no" which freaked me out for a second. Turns out a rattlesnake was a few feet away from us in a dry pool I almost climbed into. He was small and the dry pool may be too big for him to get out of? We continued on and really enjoyed the narrows in this canyon. Much longer than I expected them to be which was nice. We did the last rappel and were out of the canyon and able to see the old road leading up. We got on the road and hiked up to the highway and our parked car. When we arrived at the car Highway Patrol was there to check and see if there was trouble. He was glad to hear we were okay and told us that they have too many people come out to this area in rental cars and commit suicide. Something I didn't expect to hear but not what our plans were for sure. He asked about the canyon and then went on his way. Nice canyon to do for sure. |
