Odd day. Bit of a later start waiting for a no-show hiking partner... then some driving around deciding on which hike to do. Ended up hiking cross country checking out the Sacramento Escarpment Recreation area (BLM)... then finally headed up San Andreas Canyon. First of the area canyons that shows a volume of local use, but as always, when it gets a bit hard, the footprints fall by the wayside. It was a slow trudge... energy was off. Climbing was shaky. My initial impression of the canyon was "less than"... but, that changed as I hiked out and took time to soak in the settings.

I only had nine hours of sunlight for the hike. I'd normally break that up to 6 up/ 3 down. With the more difficult routing in this canyon I though early on about doing 5 up then 4 down. After drinking my entire gallon of fluid by midday, I decided on an even split: 4.5 up... 4.5 out. Turned out I did not need it... I was out of the canyon by 3:30pm... back to the truck by 4pm. Now,. I have to go back up in there to get the pics of the last half mile below the falls. I might just hit it from above... drop in by rope?

Odd Canyon... not really hard... not really easy. I need to re-experience it when my energy is good. Was nice to be back out exploring solo...

time for a rest day!
