| no partners | | Did this super long hike with Brian in preparation for our first Grand Canyon hike (South rim to river and back in one day). This was a very difficult and time consuming hike in our early days of hiking.
Down low we saw an assortment of beautiful flowers. Up higher we saw some amazing rock formations, hoodoos, boulders, etc.
Near the summit, we took the rope partway up and it looked a bit dangerous to continue. Also, we were running very low on time so we needed to get moving. I believe our round trip distance was closer to 19 miles because we didn't take the best route going on. On the way down we found a better route that went through a "doorway" and then found a 10 foot rope below the doorway. I suppose this was the better way to go.
We'll have to get out there again and try to actually reach the summit someday. Perhaps we'll need some extra rope or other climbing gear to make it safer. We're not sure of the condition of the rope that's up there and relying on that could be very dangerous. It may be more enjoyable to back pack and camp somewhere out there so it's not a 20 mile hike in 1 day... |
