| Clear Creek Snow - Dec 2006 |
|
"Wow, look at that."
We are up on the slope opposite Cheyava Falls looking for a
stone-wall ruin site hidden in the trees, the dark green foliage
and white snow making a dramatic contrast. Just at that moment
the snow falling lightly around offers a clear view up-canyon
to the North Rim, snow falling heavily there and shrouding the
Redwall cliffs. What a great view!! |

| Supergroup Complex - Nov 2005 |
|
Clear Creek hikers almost always
make some exploration upstream toward Cheyava or downstream
to the river. Every part of this area has something special.
This photo view is looking down just before the really narrow
section of the east fork. There is no water in the streambed
here, but don't stop here -- keep going for more discoveries
and allow all day to get to the end and back. |

| Modred Abyss Ascent - Oct
2005 |
|
The view is from just above the
critical Esplanade layer barrier cliff climbing out of Modred
Abyss to Elaine Castle and Lancelot Point in the remote upper
reaches of Shinumo Creek. Co-explorer Bob Hostetler is in the
foreground placing a handline to assist climbing up with packs. |

| Dox Castle on Bass Trail
- Oct 2005 |
|
The previous year before this photo
I attempted to locate the old Tonto section of North Bass Trail
where it leaves White Creek. I was in the right place but could
not discover anything recognizable beyond the first switchback.
This year, the trail had just been restored and rebuilt by volunteers
with guidance from Grand Canyon trail historian Mike Anderson.
A section of restored trail can be seen across the red Dox slope
descending toward Shinumo Creek. Nice work!! |
