| no partners | | | I went from the parking lot to the canyon and back. The up was pretty difficult but very doable, a good intensity. Also the trail had a good surface. However, going upwards I had no idea where the trail was going because there is a giant ridge you must climb to see Cathedral Rock, etc. The view and reveal at the Cardiac Gap is pretty amazing and Wrightson always managed to peak out in any view. At that point, my legs were pretty tired but the shade that was offered from the other side of the ridge was refreshing. The forest in the canyon surpassed my expectations in its extent and was a nice spot to turn around. On the way back, immediately after rising out of the canyon, we missed the astounding and expansive view, so make sure to look back at the view before descending into the canyon (check out my photos). The way back was pretty easy on the legs, making it enjoyable. I only went through 1.5 liters of water. This hike would be easier if I actually hiked often. |
