| no partners | | | After doing Devil's Kitchen and Otto Trail on Sunday I decided to head back to the Devil's Kitchen trailhead and hike the Echo Canyon Trail. The trail was snow-covered the entire way, with some icy spots. I slipped (but did not fall!) 1x in each direction on a downhill, but I was also distracted. If I had been paying attention a bit more to my footing it would not have been an issue. The canyon is quite beautiful and I came at the right time - near sunset - to catch the light on the eastern cliff walls. I walked just past the usual turn around point and saw that previous hikers has stumbled into the stream itself, cracking open the icy crust under the snow that hid it. I decided I didn't want to get wet. I headed back. Leaving the canyon my camera battery died. I don't think I had charged it enough, since the camera is new to me and I am still figuring it out. The temperature in the canyon was probably low 30s to high 20s but it didn't feel bad at all, especially when moving. |
