| partners | | Mark covered the details quite nicely, so I will only add a few of my thoughts about the hike.
For starters, I took too many pictures, which tells me there is a lot of good stuff to see out there. Once on top of 2857, the views to the south and west were awesome (the views north and east were obscured by fog/clouds).
It seemed like one dark cloud or another hung over us the entire hike. When we reached the down climb that would start the next phase of the hike, I don't think either of us wanted to continue, not with the threat of rain hanging over our heads. It was a wise choice to shut it down.
But that also left us with time to play as we headed back. We stayed on track until we were down from 2857, then we did whatever felt good. We saw a couple of small arches, explored some caves and chatted about whatever came to mind. Good times!
Once again, a big thanks to Mark for lugging me out to a place that I probably wouldn't see without a lot of extra miles of hiking. Wonderful hike and a great time! |
