This isn’t one of the close in hikes that one would take with a toddler. This is up north of Boynton Pass Road like Vultre Arch. I saw a lot of ill prepared hikers in the south west.

Speaking of being unprepared, I had an acquaintance who was moving to Colorado. He was still on his journey when he passed a mountain trail and decided to take a hike with his dog. He was unaware that an early blizzard was on its way. His dog made it out OK. They found him in the spring.

” He was unaware that an early blizzard “

Back in the 60’s I visited the Grand Canyon on a cross country trip.

Weather was clear as I headed north on 89 from Flagstaff and visited the canyon. Then the snow hit. Route 64 had about an inch on the highway and I was the first one on it. No tire marks to follow. Met a car going north and we both inched around each other.

Hit the interstate and east bound traffic (uphill) was stopped. Luckily I was going west bound and kept going.
