| no partners | | This was my third visit and surprised to find the proliferation of waist high grass. It was there on prior hikes but not to this extent. It does make for a handy hand hold but otherwise, does a great job of hiding all that it surrounds. Not too troublesome on the ascent but for the descent, our group of 3 fell 6-7 times when our foot caught the grass on a sloped boulder. Kind of dangerous and was grateful for the brief respite given traversing the boulder field about half way down the canyon. Note the canyon climb to the ridge is .80 miles having an average grade of 30% so steep. Fire pit and camp site in good shape at the rim and the views, magnificent. If you rely on cairns, I found very few. Never more than 2 in a row. |
