| partners | | | Originally had a more aggressive agenda, but was feeling a bit sore/scratched from the prior day, so we opted for something a bit easier. We followed the route down an old 4x4 road and explored around a bunch of old rusty stuff / ancient relics before heading over to the mines. We got to explore 3 different mines, but didn’t want to stay too long inside any of them due to chemical type smells. I believe it was the last one that went pretty far back a ways. We continued on past the mines to reach an upper viewpoint of the canyon. We thought the canyon looked really beautiful from above, so we headed back the way we came, then over to the top of waterslides canyon. We traveled in the canyon until the first rappel and just sat back and enjoyed the views. As expected, the canyon was completely dry. Webbing/anchors still in tact on tree at first rappel. Would love to come back and see this canyon after rainfall, as it was truly stunning. We headed back the way we came and headed back out to civilization. (We ultimately decided against a second night camping given the bone chilling evening/morning temps). The clouds were stunning on the long drive down the dirt road! We stopped at the bridge on the way back to enjoy a quick scenic pit stop to enjoy the clouds. Another great trip to the Anchas that left us curious to see more! |
