Ok...this is not really the kind of story you like to share but, here goes! It's Wednesday, May 9th, 12:30 pm. The temperature outside has just passed the 102 degree mark (topped out later at 106 degrees)! This (don't ask why) is the day we decided to attempt the Flat(hot)iron! We carried 100 oz. of water each plus an extra 16 oz. bottle and they all ran out just as we reached the base of the Flatiron. At this point, the sun was leaving and we decided we should too. All in all, arriving back at the trailhead at 2:30am the next morning, it was a very interesting hike filled with beautiful sites and sounds...one sound that was heard a lot after it got very dark...I just want to be down from here! Being new at this, we obviously missed the trial at the top of the slick rock area. So, if anybody has any simple directions (first grade edition) that would help get us from that area to the top, they would be greatly appreciated...thanks!
