Lycium Loop 11/19/2018
Sandy walk to the Split Mountain.
Tall walls in the canyon.
These layers are like tree rings. Each one may have some story to tell.
Wide place in the canyon.
The famous anticline formation caused by sturzstorm of mammoth proportions. So let’s make our group picture here.
Is Wayne impressed?
Looking back.
Many ocean layers.
Wit found a window.
Another sidewall.
Looks like nice slot canyon down there. We are not going down.
We are going up.
At our first spot elevation and it is also our lunch place.
Wit is going back. He does not like what he sees ahead.
But there is just a nice ridge going down.
From solid to dust.
The wash is down there.
This is the way down.
Back in the wash.
Waterfall to climb.
Some big cat walked here.
At our high point, 1396.
Almost out.
On ‘flat’. This looks easy but to clamber two miles over these rocks is hard on my knees.
Some beer to soothe our joints.
