SuperstitionGuy
Did some exploring with SuperstitionGuy, who had been in this area in the past and wanted a few pictures of a cave and rock spiral staircase. Saw a small bat in the cave, but never could get a good shot of him. He was totally flipping out by the noise of our voices!

We entered the canyon by driving to an open unofficial parking area just before where AZ88 goes from paved to dirt. You enter the canyon by walking down from the parking area.

Some GPS coordinates in case you want to find these for yourself:
parking area: N33.53891 W111.32616
cave: N33.54294 W111.32724
spiral staircase: N33.54504 W111.32788

Thanks for a great morning and great talks, SuperstitionGuy!
