Great mellow backpack with Kriket to the Monument area. Finally went upstream solo on my dad's recommendation, which was nice. Ascended to the base of the massive Redwall cliffs just for poos and giggles. This is an occasionally violent area that one shouldn't visit during a big precipitation event. On our second day, we hiked to Granite Rapids and found a downstream beach to chillax away from the crowded dunes. An uneventful third day hike out besides the large ram who wouldn't yield the trail for awhile.
