Above - we arrived at our next canyon - it looked good!
Above - Rik explores ahead. This was one canyon I had explored many
years before - but on that occasion - we started down it late in the
day - and had to continue on in the dark (with only one torch in the
party). It was good to see it in the light this time.

nearby canyon. I went with Rik, John and Rob to explore a few nearby
creeks for canyons
