Early morning before Slickhorn hike
Geared up at the trailhead. Ready, set, go!
Hard to believe. Standing water and tadpoles!
The sacred Datura plant.
Above the first of 4 major pour offs.
Step carefully
Assessing the situation
Big step
You can see the wall of the main canyon straight ahead, but some major route finding yet.
Just a reference to plant forms used in pictographs
Big pools of water at the bottom
Flowing water.
Tonight’s lodging. 7 hours to go 4.4 miles. Whew!
Sun going down
The day coming to a close
Stars
More stars!
Stars are the ceiling to my room!
