This morning's plan was to see if we could find the spot where we had to turn around on our hike through the wash last week, where it was too overgrown and steep. Try and approach from the other end and from the side. We knew that the wash was dammed higher up as we have explored there on horseback, but it is too steep for horses to skinny down the slope.
We drove part way into the Forest and still found some snow on the northern exposures, but we set out and arrived at our planned point of descent. Well, it is too steep for us too: it's a 100 foot drop straight down.
So we decided to follow the ridge that parallels the wash and see if we could get down at better spot. There were no such places and we soon found ourselves on top of the southern edge of the wash. We walked along it for awhile, cut across and came to the road that runs along the east side of the Dragoons, and that was it. A bit disappointing, after the beautiful and exhilarating start.
