| no partners | | Scouting this for a potential off-trail extravaganza next weekend. I had never been to Rhyodacite and wanted to see if it was going to be a time consuming rock hop.
Jogged most of this one. I didn't want to be in the beer can poop filled dry swamp any longer than necessary. Followed the Trans Goldfield route out until it got to the closure and skirted it just west.
Rhyodacite Canyon is gnarly looking. I made excellent time through and then did it in reverse. The lighting was much better on the reverse so I took photos, checked out a cave I skipped on the way in, and climbed up out of the canyon in several spots. Took a long snack break and appreciated it all. Then back out the way I came.
I am wondering how bad of a trip it would be to go north > south through Rhyodacite canyon, off-off-trail it for a while and hit Dome from the north. Might find out here soon.
Wonderful morning. |
