When I spotted an unofficial trail I
couldn't resist the opportunity to explore the hillside and get up
near the arch. I worked my way up the rugged slope watching
out for those pesky prickly pear cactus and listening closely for
rattlesnakes. =) It is
amazingly flat on top and while it looked solid I decided to use
better judgment and not venture out on it. Ultimately it
wouldn't have been that tough to walk across it, but getting down
onto it from my vantage point was the kicker, although it doesn't
appear that way from the photo.
From this spot on the hillside you
are afforded a great view of
the slick rock that is the official end of the trail. |
