| partners | | After the quick jaunt up Saddle Mountain, we headed across the hayla valley to do some wandering in the Eagletails. I led the others up to Double Eagle as an introduction to the range and to gain some elevation for a good view to the north. We went up the ramp on the north side and descended via the drainage east of the summit. I don't think this one meets any of the criterion to make any kind of internet list so it might only be visited by people who enjoy looking at maps and exploring places that look cool from a distance.
Next we wandered some more, swinging around to find an arch I hadn't been to previously. There's some fantastic geology along the way. Getting into the arch is about a 300-foot climb up a loose scree slope which both 9L and pfox gave up on. The back side is a bit more choked with prickly desert things but features more sure footing, and is probably the best route for this one. |
