| partners | | We were heading north for Toroweap and car camped in Page on Friday night. We had temps drop into the upper teens and it was a long night. We woke on Saturday and geared up for The Ropes Trail.
We drove over from our campsite and started from the west side. It took some navigation to find the upper portion of the route. Once we found it, we made quick time down. The route is a lot of fun! There are several eyelets to follow and things get fun when you come to the first notch. There was a solid rope that makes the descent straightforward. Once below that, it's careful going as you work your way down. There were a few more ropes and the final drop to the bottom involves a long drop. You have the option of a steel cable or a rope. I had garden gloves with a rubber grip and went with the cable.
Once down, we headed over the main area where there are two nice campsites and an outhouse loaded with TP. After enjoying the area for a few, we started our return. The climb up went really well. The rock has good grip and the exposure isn't as bad since you're looking up. We topped out and then headed back to the vehicles. From here we are heading for Toroweap.
This was a really great hike but it's not worth doing stand alone. Add this if you're already in the area. It only takes 2-3 hours and is time well spent. |
