    Snake Gulch - Kaibab National Forest

    What a great hike today! We had to keep up quite the pace to get where we wanted to go and to get out by dark. Will load some photos....

    After a LONG bath.

    Snake Gulch

    I just uploaded the hike onto Topo. We started at the trailhead in Nail Canyon and scampered hurriedly to Wildband Spring =~ 10 Miles. This took around 4 hours as we stopped at Table Rock Spring for a pitstop and again at Pigeon Canyon for lunch. On the way back we slowed from 2.5 MPH average to our usual 100 PPH (photos per hour) average as we found hundreds of Pictos, Petros, 2-3 ruins, 5-6 granaries, bones, chips and shards and all sorts of other cool stuff! We began the hike at 8AM and were back to the Rover at 5:30PM after 20+ miles of perfect weather (and company) hiking.

    That hiking sounds so SLOW when you add in lunch and such.

    very cool! i've flown over the area in a cessna a few times and thought a good loop would be down snake and out jumpup. maybe in march. who knows. the photos are great.
    But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

    I saw some writes up of that. I think that would be a great way to go. Jump up is one of the best views of the Grand Canyon I think!

    We put it in gear..... when hiking we were going 4 mph plus...... found the grainery we wanted.... but then we were running out of daylight to find all the picto/petro's on the way back! There were probably much more, but we shot a bunch of them. Then once we shot the last group we hussled to make it out just as it was getting dark.

    If anyone goes... wear gators! That sheet (is that how you spell it) grass drove me nuts!

    I have Bo's trail report for this one online finally!

    Great exercise type of hike. You can get in 20 miles even on a short winter day!
