| no partners | | Becky and I had previously covered most of the transgoldfield route while exploring other areas/loops. We were only missing a few small sections so we set off to do it all at once! Parked a car at the bulldog north gate and shuttled around to Willow Canyon. Got started right before sunrise and enjoyed the yellow glow as the sun came up.  We made our way through the washes and trails and up to the saddle at the top of Rhyodacite just before 10am…..let the fun begin! Down Rhyodacite we went….through the bushes and over the rocks. Lots of type 3 fun! We had done a year prior as a loop from the high country but we hadn’t had time that day to check out all of the books and crannies this canyon has to offer. Checked out a few caves that happened to be well worth our while. Then came the dreaded March along salt river back to the car. All in all, a great day! |
