Used a lifted jeep (with lockers) to drive the terrible "road" to the trailhead. Extended the loop to explore Tarp Canyon and see the cliff dwelling area. First time on these scenic trails, just wish the road was maintained so everyone could experience them.

Went up to the crash site of the North American F-100F on April 4, 1960. It is a rugged area for sure. Lots of debris remains at the site. Continued up to peak 3958 for lunch. Expansive views up there.

Did the loop through two canyons. Started early to avoid any jeeps on the 4x4 road section. The east canyon is fun with the boulder obstacles and narrow section.

Fun time finding a way through all the boulder obstacles. Turned around at the junction with Lost Dutch Canyon. Most unusual sighting was of two separate dead foxes in the canyon. One was on top of a boulder and the other was on top of a log. No obvious cause of their dead. Any ideas?

Hiked into Crucifix Canyon from Mesquite Flat. Decent set of cairns exist for the steep section into Crucifix Canyon. From the canyon floor there are good views up to the old rickety wooden ladder. We did not hike up to the Bat Cave. Continued down canyon to a viewpoint of the Salt River.

Hiked in from the lower (east) trailhead. Also went to the Perez cabin and explored the cave near Toney Ranch.

The scramble down is doable without ropes. Some exposure but okay for the experienced hiker. The canyon is a maze of obstacles to find an acceptable passage through. Placed a second car at the end to avoid the road walk. This is much more than a normal hike. Rather this is a fun scramble route for those interested in route finding, tunnels, boulders, crawls, butt slides, use of hands, ...

Sky Island loop before the bald eagle closures start on December 1. Our first river crossing was up to 1.5 feet deep and our second river crossing had a 3.5-foot-deep section. The high county has great views down to the river, the lake and of course the two arches.

The falls colors are on full display as the huckleberries are thick and ripe.
Great views down into the Napeequa River Valley (aka Shangri-La of the Cascades). Recommend wearing hunter orange clothing as lots of hunters are out. The Chiwawa River crossing is currently about 10 inches deep of cold water.

Hiked up Banshee Peak in Mt. Rainier National Park. Clouds filled the lowlands to the southeast. Clear day with views to Mt. Adams,
Mount Hood, Mount Saint Helens and Mt. Rainier. Saw several backpackers doing the Wonderland Trail around Mt. Rainier as well as many day hikers heading to the meadows at Summerland. Saw one other person doing Banshee Peak today.
