2 days ago was a pretty steep one so on this hike we stayed mostly on a road.
Seems like there is always one spot of road that ends it for the truck and then on the other side it would be smooth sailing.
-
Lots of mining roads and open mines. Stayed out of all but one. It looked like it was solid rock so we ventured in about 20 feet and then saw some really cool blue rocks then chickened out and left.
All the roads were dead ends and there weren’t that many minerals to check out.
at at the end of about every spur there seems to be at least one mine.
-
Instead of coming down the road we took the wash that has the white stripes.
The views of Patagonia were inspiring.
This was a good one because it was mostly a road. Insanely steep in places.
And it was quiet.
Steak over a fire to end the day.
Seven hours is a long time for a 4 mile hike on a road.
BUT
There was a lot to explore.
We had lunch and a nap at the very end of the highest road.
Watched the clouds to the east while the sun set in the west. |
