Reverse Route

Trail to the sky

Becca and I reversed course this morning and hiked the same route as yesterday, but in the opposite direction.  The most fun came in tracking our footsteps in the sandy arroyo bottom.  I felt like Natty Bumppo to Becca's Chingachgook--except there were no arroyos in Mohican territory.
