    Too Rugged

    This backpack to Stephen's arch was epic. Had to climb down serveral hundred feet cliff, cross dunes and a river, then climb another cliff to get to it. the arch you see in the pic 220 ft wide, that shows a little bit of the scale of the cliff we had to climb to get to it.

    Worst Trail Experience Ever

    I don’t know if I have had a bad experience. What should of been for sane people is I got caught in an unexpected thunderstorm with tornado like winds and torrential downpours, problem is I loved it. It was about an hour finishing the trail.
