| no partners | | | I was given a copy of Senner's Gold so the quest to find Senner's Grave was on. The book calls the unnamed canyon between Hog Cyn and Monument Cyn "Flatiron" Cyn and that was the first goal. The best way in seems to be from Monument Cyn so that was the route. Once you exit the canyon the overland route is steep and loose so looking for somewhat level terrain is a task. After scrambling up to the cliff ledge there were 5 alcoves to check. One had what may be on old grave but it was hard to tell. There was a prospect hole near this spot and honey combs high above. The ledge had a lot of big horn (?) droppings and I founs an X in the rock. The next goal was a scramble up to the ridgeline and a hike over to the lone cypress tree on a ridge to the east. After the detour, I hiked over to the Flatiron and down Siphon Draw. Siphon draw was busy as usual and i was glad to get down to the Crosscut trail and away from the crowd. Three mule deer jump up on the Crosscut trail and were patient enough for photos. This route is not recommended unless you like off trail. |
