| no partners | | had an easy day today, only 1.6 miles from granite rapids to the monument creek campground
took several little side trips from our camp:
1. jess and i went down the creek a ways, and had we been willing to get our only shoes wet, could have gone down far enough to meet up with monument trail that we had just come up
nice slickrock, flowing water, some slides and scrambles - fun
2. it's a little confusing getting back on the tonto, so i wanted to check it out, hiking up to a saddle above the creek and campground
3. went back to the monument and started up a use trail from the tonto intersection, but couldn't tell where it was going, so returned
4. went up monument creek, where there is supposed to be a waterfall
after only five minutes, the drainage splits, and i first went right, then came back and went up the left branch where there were several cairns
kinda wished i had spent my time on this one, going a bit further
it's neat being the only one up these canyons
so much to explore; you could never see everything in a lifetime |
