Grand Staircase Backpack in Hackberry Canyon with Big Wild Adventures

 

Day 3, dayhike up Stone Donkey Canyon

The Stone Donkey on the left? Or is that a kangaroo? Or an anthropomorphic wolf?

Well, I don't know what they were all looking at, but I'm going back to the flowers!

Sniffing the ponderosa. Butterscotch!

Slot at the end of the canyon. We did not get in too far. After a few mini water obstacles, we hit the pitch black and seeming end of the slot. Turns out, most people downclimb this canyon using an initial rapel and a few chimneys.
