An interesting trail, but there comes a point where you have to climb...

Beautiful trail through slot canyon. Some tricky spots for the over 70 year hikers. Think the spots out, watch how the younger generation traverses to figure out

This trail has some intense scrambling. Be prepared to climb. There is a dropoff of 20ft, about a mile from the trailhead--but instead of descending there, stay to the right and you will see where you can climb down more easily. There are rockpiles to guide your way, if you look for them. I recommend hiking with a partner, so you can hoist each other up or catch each other on the descent.
