Wasn't sure where I wanted to go today. Jumped on the 88 and started driving. Decided to scout out this canyoneering hike I had heard about in the past. I hiked in pass the first 3 big drop-offs. I worked around most of them on the way down canyon, but found them quite easy to climb out of on the way back. Still, these climbs required some exposed moves, so caution and care should be exercised. I found myself traversing around the edges of pools to get to the pour-offs where I made my ascents. I imagine this wouldn't be quite as easy if water were flowing through here.

Today I kept it short, only going in about 0.6 miles. Yet another hike that I can add to my hikes close to home list (30 minutes or less from house to trailhead).

This is my gym. I have to travel down a bumpy road to get there. There are no treadmillls, no machines, and no personal trainers. I walk..I run..I breathe the fresh air. I can go any time I want, as much as I want and there is no membership fee.

Again, not much of a hike...just scoping out the area. This time I drove further downstream and entered near the old corral which leads out towards a big waterfall. The waterfall was flowing, but not much beyond a trickle. I walked around up top then hiked down to the creek level and viewed the falls from below.
