Mark's Scenic Arizona

Malicious Gap = June 22, 2011

A return hike only this time early morning

I found and explored a canyon wall cave

First photo of the morning
Wolf spider webs galore
Plenty of shadows with the sun still low
Greenback Creek canyon walls
Approaching the falls
There's a moon in there somewhere
There it is
Canyon walls
Canyon walls
Canyon walls
Canyon walls
Canyon walls
The dense brush is closing in
Cairn marking a path to bypass thick brush
There's the cave
Full zoom from across the canyon
Rugged canyon walls
Bear Head Mountain
I veered off for the climb to the cave from here
Bear Head Mountain
The moon again
Steep rock fall I climbed along the way
Across from the cave
Another shot across from the cave area
View from above the cave
Full zoom
The path from whence I came
I crossed a narrow ledge only to find a dead end
Approaching the cave
Century Plant in bloom
Another Century Plant
Up the other side
Bear Head Mountain
Cave in the side wall at the dry falls
The cave in context. Falls on the right
Packed up and ready to return home
