Morning at camp, day 5 of the forced march
Waiting for the water to get hot!
First flat spot we found in the dark the previous night
Heading out after breakfast
Lush garden
Navigating the trail
The dark limestone that gives the canyon its name
Sand and rock
Nice walk
Pausing for a drink
An abundance of water
Big cottonwoods
The goddess zips off the pant legs
Walking the creek bed in the bowels of Dark Canyon
Majestic canyon walls
Dark Canyon drops 3000 feel below Elk Ridge
Paintbrush and cottonwoods
A wide area and a break
Beautiful pool
Towering walls
Lunch break near a nice pool
Wind blown hair
Looking back up canyon
Limestone base layer
Navigating a narrow trail
You need to pick the correct side of the narrows or there are problems
Deep and cool
Narrow and deep watercourse
Nice waterfall
A break in the shade
Taking a break after roping the packs up
Climbing up the rocks
Another break already?
Cactus garden
A look at the location of the sundance trail on the horizon
A look down canyon
Final campsite
Later in the day
The Sundance Trail goes up the side of that distant mesa
Making camp
Nice area for the final camp
