ilanaramaI've uploaded a dozen photos from our backpack trip last weekend to our flickr page; click on the teaser to see them all.
Incidentally, the couple hiking with us are 73 and 76 years old. This was not a trivial hike - the daily distances were relatively short, but there were no trails over much of this terrain, and we had to take packs off and pass them through a hole in a boulder jumble once on the way down, and then hand them up and scramble up a short cliff on the way up (a different side canyon). Also, we saw a rattlesnake on the way out - and yes, there's a photo in the set of it, and no, we didn't get bitten.
