Little Lo Spring - Mogollon Rim

[french_de]

Little Lo Spring, a tributary of Sycamore Canyon located in the Coconino National Forest about 27 miles southwest of flagstaff AZ, was our goal as a first foray into Mogollon plateau canyons.
Little Lo’s expensive entry/exit ante is compensated by the bounty of a bonny primal canyon containing narrows, pools, short rappels, down climbs and keeper pots. The two hour entrance hike is a hop down a thickly forested gully thru boulders, brush, ferns and fallen logs. The steep exit trail is up thru a thick forest of ponderosa, oak and douglas fir. The afternoon monsoons kept the hike out cool. Thanks to Todd Martin and his book - Arizona: Technical Canyoneering for the beta on this canyon and thanks to all of my canyoneering partners who made this trip great.

I loved that stemming shot. That is awesome with everyone one lined up "in position". And a little rain to add to the excitement.
