Heading out with Kyle
The underwhelming river.
Running along the road — it was actually on the shoulder not much further than this.
Our crew having their own car-related adventure.
To make the terrible hill even worse, you can see it from super far away. The kind of s-shaped tan line just left of center on the hill is the trail we took up/down. This picture is taken from the road section several miles away.
The lower section of the hill. It’s hard to tell just how steep it is from a picture, but it really is.
The sketchy gravel section
banana Nutella sandwich
The dirt road back to the crew access point
Pickle juice shot!
With the crew (right) and my two pacers (left). Thanks all!
Both Elena’s and my favorite picture from this section.
Along the first mesa before it got dark
Finishing!
Thanks Zion!
