| no partners | | A small group of us hiked out to the cliff dwellings in Roger's Canyon.
The drive out was long, but scenic. I was able to do it entirely in 2WD in my Ford F-150. When we got to the parking area, we saw other vehicles with less clearance than my truck there. Despite starting early, there were a surprising number of vehicles at the Rogers Trough Trailhead. (I'm sure that several of them had been there overnight.)
The hike in the canyon was also scenic with easy route finding and hiking.
The highlight of this hike is, undoubtedly, the cliff dwellings that can be seen to the right at just over four miles in. The route to the upper room is slightly exposed, but the holds are good and the moves are easy. The structures in that upper level appear to be in mostly good condition, but it was really, really disappointing to see graffiti. I suspect too, that the hole in the roof wasn't due to natural causes. |
