Preview of Today's hike

The Commander is poised in front of the peak we will climb today.  Yesterday we checked the river to find a place to cross.  This morning we will meet Ruth and Rodger on the Salt River and climb to the peak behind The Commander in the photo.  The Kadizzle crew has been up there many times with Megan, and a lot of new friends.  Once we were up there exploring with two pilots and Kadizzle was befuddled when he found what poor navigators they were on land.  On one trip we had the perfect view of a bighorn sheep.  We got very close and a perfect shot. When we first saw him he was right on the peak like some ad in a magazine.

With the recent snow we may be lucky and a little water may be running.  When water runs back in that canyon there are some nice little water falls.  If all goes well we will be sitting up on top having lunch.  The real beauty of the hike is very few people know of the trail.  Since you have to wade the river on most days, people just do not go into that area.  It is too steep and difficult for horses.  Perhaps we can take the track from the GPS when we are back and overlay it on Google Earth.  If you want to follow the hike live you can go to the Delorme site and track us.  The password is Quinn.  We should start up the trail about 10:30 mountain time.
