Siphon Draw Trail = January 08, 2011

I headed up Siphon Draw Trail as far as the slick rock area

Then headed NE up first ravine and down the second ravine

I'm headed off to the ravine on the left
Flatiron from a new vantage point
Another shot of Flatiron
Flatiron again
View north
View north-northwest
New view for me
Flatiron peeking up
View out over AJ
One of a number of pools I encountered
Heading up the ravine
Looking NNW
View north
Lots of haze in the air today. :-(
Old WWII airplane giving tours
Looking back on my route
My high point will be off the top left side
My high point was top left of photo.
Hard to see the hiker waving his arm with the haze
Hikers on Flatiron
First of many 'Moon over the Supes' shots
Different camera setting
My route came up the ravine
That moon again
Over the other side of ridge is Massacre Falls
Almost to my high point for today
Haze again obstructing view of hiker on top
The moon again
View over AJ and the far east valley
I will return down this ravine
Heading back down
And down...
I came down from the rock in the center
Last 'Moon over the Supes' for today
That's where I'm headed
Ice on the trail
Looks like Casper the ghost in the ice
I stayed away from this rock
I came down through there
Dead end here... have to climb to avoid it
I came up from near the Saguaro lower right
I had to climb to avoid that drop
Flatiron is sinking as I climb down
Can't see anyone on Flatiron now
Last of the Flatiron shots for today
Nice Agave
Golf ball in the brush
Talking Heads?
Trickle in the slick rock area
I love this view... at the end of the hike
Last shot of the day
