Some pictures of Sandcove

[Richie]

Someone suggested in my thread in the newbie section that I should post some pictures, so here we go.

Hope you like them.

Where is that first one from?

[Richie]

All four pictures were made at the Sandcove in the CBN area.
The first one shows a so called "Boxwork". Here is an explanation how they form:

Great pics. I'm going to Coyote Buttes North, South and White Pocket this weekend. Got coords to Sand Cove? Or just rough directions from where everything else is?

[Richie]

Hi ibenick,

you won't need coords. Sandcove is easy to find. When you head for the Wave, there's one last uphill with a large sanddune you have to hike up. When you want to hike Sandcove you turn right (West) just before that dune and follow the wash. It soon becomes almost a slot (see second pictures which is taken while looking back to the "Wave-Trail"). After probably 20 Minutes of walking it widens again and you're in Sand Cove (Top Rock is to your left side).

On the South End of Sandcove there's a good possibility to hike up Top Rock. But about this part of the hike I can give you no information because we turned around at this point.
Oh and beware of Rattle Snakes The first time we saw one in nature was here.
