| no partners | | Jamie needed to place his thru hike cache at the river so he, his hiking buddy Nate and i all set off around 9am to dayhike So. can.
Freezing up top, really, it was 32° at the jeep!
So we shed layers like mad as we descended the Kaibab break.
That's a pretty cute little break too!!
I spotted a nearly mummified bighorn, played with a tarantula and upon reaching the river I stayed up high and explored all the arch sites.
We barely spent an hour at the river, just enough to for the guys to place their caches and take a breather.
On our way back the rain, which had been constant yet quite tame since we began our hike, took a turn and we received the occasional downpour.
The best, or worst depends how you look at it, downpour came pummeling down on us just as we reached the head of the creek and began our ascent through Coco and Kaibab.
Soaking wet!! I had to use my rain shell to cover my pack and my fingers and lips were turning purple by the time we reached the trailhead.
That was a fun little dayhike.
Odd though, I recall some hiking folk once describing So. Can. as "brutal" and "rugged"... It was a cake walk to day hike...but to each their own. |
