I started biking really early this morning. I wanted to coast down hell's backbone from the top and then climb back out. Cami stayed at the campground until I got to her, since I had to back track a bit. When I got there we packed up and I kept going...
We cut the day before short, so I could ride this early in the morning before all the rental RV's with wide mirrors that could take you out! You would fall 1,000 feet on either side before you would hit bottom.
The row of green at the bottom of the crevice is grass, trees and a stream that support wildlife that you would not expect to find in such an environment.
This is the same area but after descending into it at sunrise...
Hall's store...our campground overnight. The owner kindly left the convenience store bathroom unlocked all night for us as we camped with 4 others. The morning was very busy here with all the cowboys stopping for gas and a donut on their way to work for the day with their livestock haulers.
Fillin' up the water jugs at the ole waterin' hole...
It was hot out there!!
Mr. Incredible got bounced around like a crazy man on the way in and out of "Grand Wash" (found out later the other end of the "wash" could be accessed from a paved road!) Been putting that National Park Pass to good use.
