We had a lot of fun on this trail -- even though we only did part of it. We thought we were doing pretty well (even though it was hot enough to catch fire at any moment) until we came to the major downhill slickrock and realized that we couldn't make it down. And even if we could make it down could we make it back up?

We were hanging out eating lunch when a big CJ-7 came up the big hill. They said that we wouldn't have a problem with it and we should try it. We still ended up chickening out, but we did try some other obstacles we had bypassed on the way. It ended up being one of the biggest adrenaline rushes of the trip!
