Here we're about a quarter mile into the hike. We had to stop to find a geocache, of course!

Much of the hike was across slickrock sandstone like this. We found our way by following the cairnes and my GPS track.

This is a closer view of the rock from the previous picture. You can see scratches in it from mountain bike pedals and chain rings. We saw lots of rocks with these kinds of scratches.

This geocache was easy to find. It was well off the main trail so most people would never see it.
