I spent the long weekend camped at the Wedge Overlook / Little Grand Canyon, and I had never before realized how much awesome hiking there is to do in the area. Good Water Canyon is a short but deep canyon that cuts through the Wedge, and there are several side canyons that are really fun to explore. I checked out three of them this weekend, and now I'm planning on going back for more soon. Here is a shload of pics from the weekend:

That looks like a great trip! I'm going to have to put that one on the to-do list. :2thumbs:

thanks for that trail report and all the pics. What a great trip. How long did it take to do that hike?
I like the Wedge a lot and always looking for interesting hikes in that area

These photos are actually from three hikes in three different canyons, and each one took two or three hours. You could actually do them all in a single day if you wanted to.

Thanks :2thumbs:

I think all hikes in a single day is impossible for me. Actually I just recovered from a slipped disk and must be a little bit careful.
But added them to my to do list and so I have another reason to stay in that area for a few more days.

Wow I didn't realize there was so much in a relatively small area. Very cool man thanks! :2thumbs:
