Started the day at Boynton Canyon and made our way over to Loy to do a cliff dwelling search. We were the first car in the Boynton parking lot at 7:30 which quickly filled up, I imagine shortly afterwards. Plenty of parking over at Loy trailhead when we got there, so I obviously planned that sequence right. The Loy Canyon Trail was surprisingly sandy which none of us expected. Jumped off the main trail at the big tree and headed west up the canyon wall. There sort of is a trail to the ruins, but it's easy to lose, steep, and crumbly at spots. These ruins were the highlight of the day! We even had a helicopter swoop by and visit us. I bet those passengers were jealous of our awesomeness
