Manhole, Sculpture Garden and Pumpkin Spring (212) (.5 shuttle)
Put in at Pipe Creek, take out at Diamond Creek. Hybrid (paddle & Oar) with AZRA & the legendary Author/Historian Brad Dimock. Glad I had my NRS Work Boots. Did not need splash gear.
I think I've figured out how to do a Bass Trail Rim-to-Rim which will be my fourth different Rim-to-Rim. I'll call the other three the Corridor, the Upper, the Lower and this will be the Bass. Still trying to figure out the Horsethief Trail Rim-to-Rim - need to figure out how to put the pieces together and get it permitted.
Mileage is from Tom Martin's Book Day Hikes from the Colorado River (Third Edition) and memory. |
