nonot

Fun little canyon, always good to get off the beaten path. I included a few action pics of nonot, who also had some good info on rappel setups and some cool specialized gear (potshots!) that I now have to buy. But I gotta say that seeing the bear family was the highlight! What keeps these big critters fat and healthy? I just don't see that much berries and edible vegetation around up there. Bark beetles maybe?
