Waited a couple hours for the clouds to blow off the six shooters this morning....was well worth it. (Don't worry we did absolutely no climbing on wet sandstone)

Bow down human!

The starting cairn from where you park. About 3.5 miles from the main road (not 2.5 as our guidebook said). Follow about 100 cairns from here through the cliff band and to the base of the route.

A graphical track of Ken Trout's suggested route. Yes, it is an easy road to drive and an hour approach. The path finally converges at the beginning of the uphill hiking.

This photo was taken on the hike out. The trail meanders up through boulders and through a weakness in the limestone band behind me in the photo. Follow the cairns. (Photo by Mark Thomas.)
