| no partners | | While the girls got ready, I took off in Karen's RX-8 to do a recon on West Clear Creek. The ribbon of smooth blacktop wound through the green canopy, empty and silent in the early light. I believe the proper term is "Zoom Zoom".
I arrived at the Call of the Canyon Trailhead, where the attendant informed me that my stack of passes purchased the day before didn't apply or had expired. He was nice enough to wave me through, and I grabbed my camera and hit the trail. The canyon walls towered overhead as I crossed the bridge and headed left to the canyon mouth, checking out the ruins from the Lodge and snapping a few pictures before looking at my watch and heading back. This was certainly easier and prettier than Allan's Bend, so I figured Karen's Mom would be up for it.
When I got back it was apparent that she was pretty sore from yesterday's hike, so we decided to head down to Oak Creeks Red Rock Café for a nice big breakfast instead. This must have done the trick, because an hour and a half later at the Outlets at Anthem, she seemed to get around just fine!  |
