| no partners | | I was in the 'hood and hadn't visited this gem since '15. It was mostly cloudy and dull with an aggressive 50mph wind that made it treacherous to attempt to approach any of the cliff edge viewpoints. A splash of sun opened up for a few minutes but a solid cloudbank was going to obscure sunset so I didn't bother sticking around waiting for it.
* I'm unsure about the prohibition of going below the canyon rim reported in the HAZ guide. There is a very-well worn trail with anchored u-bar posts connected with ropes to assist hikers through the steeper sections (reminiscent of Half Dome's cables!). As I infer from the local chapter's rules published online, following the trail into the canyon is indeed permitted until you reach the Hopi boundary which has different rules (https://coalminecanyon.navajochapters.o ... gulations/) Some clear signage at the site might be useful to clarify guidelines for visitors. |
