| no partners | | Tacked this hike on at the end of a great weeklong North Rim trip. The trailhead was very hot compared to being on the Kaibab Plateau and I started to doubt my choice after arriving. It turned out well though, as one works their way down canyon, it seems to get more mystical. The trail to the first petroglyph panel wasn't as overgrown as expected, but at about mile four, it becomes slightly obscure. Pants and gaiters were a plus. The tumbleweeds are just wittle babies now. Their pictographs depict themselves as small and squatty in stature, but they must've been quite tall to paint that high on the walls!?! We should all be grateful that our predecessors had the courage and foresight to preserve areas such as this. |
