We stopped for a much needed water and shade break here.
I learned something today. Always look at elevation gain when planning a hike. I learned after I got home that this is an elevation gain of 1, 347 feet, at 1.2 miles on a 6% grade. Easy to moderate is the width of trail. The hike I did in the Secret Canyon was listed as difficult. Because it was a narrow path with a high likelyhoo of falling to your death. Yikes. I thought the rating was the difficulty.
Falling to your death is NOT on your itinerary.
With my fear of heights, this is what I think about. lol. No not an option
I guess you never really know until you look at all elevation points, ahead of time, right?
True, lesson learned!
I like rocks. These look like sandstone.
They are close, these are what is called Julian Schist and granite mixed in.
