Aravaipa Canyon Backpack Trip
April 2003
 |
| Jeff, Bev, Joe, Spencer, Nick, Brandon, Augie, Matt, Gary, Brian and Bob |
|
| And we're off! Hiking into the east entrance of Aravaipa Canyon, headed for Hell Hole Canyon. |
|
| Do you promise this is a flat hike? |
|
 |
| We set up camp and then take off for a day hike up Hell Hole Canyon. |
|
 |
|
| The Scouts find a gila monster!! Mrs. Moreash tells everyone they found a chuckawalla, it's a good thing she's not the Nature merit badge counselor. |
|
|
| Exploring slot canyons in Hell Hole. |
|
|
|
| Stopping for a break at a spring -- Matt enjoys the water and the old guys take a nap. |
|
|
Another spring, refreshing cool water!
|
|
| Matt finds a great climbing tree! |
|
 |
|
| Dinner time -- Mark and Rich bring steak and beans, with plenty for everyone! |
|
|
Time to pack up and hike out, but luckily this hike is flat all the way out too!
|
|
 |
| Bev and Joe find some wildlife in the canyon. We'll ask Mrs. Moreash to help us identify this rare native Aravaipa Canyon Dinosaur. |
|
|
Chalo's!
Augie enjoys his menudo and Nicks tries a combo plate. Yum! |
