Starting out a little cold today.....
Now on down to the vistas overlooking

Map of Devil's Canyon Special Interest Area
Stopping at one of the vistas
(I can tell pictures today area going to
have shadows)
Almost to our turn point...
This is where you turn to go downunder....
We took the tunnel route...sorry flash did not work!
A tight squeeze getting through the tunnel
Around a few boulders and on our way to
Devils Canyon Jr. Falls
Steve can hike and take pictures at the same time!
Devil's Canyon Jr. Falls
Getting here was the "easy" part.....now onward
Dana doing a quick recovery.....
We made it over and around and now down to
Devil's Canyon Falls
A rock in the tree....point the way....
Almost to the top of the falls....no water today!
Steve on top of Devil's Canyon Falls
Bushwhackers Shelter
Got the rope tied off, now down the steep
hill that goes down below Devil's Canyon Falls
I am glad I brought the rope today....!
It was pretty steep....believe me!
...and yes we all made it down!
We were heading way down there!
Back upstream is Devil's Canyon Falls...
we decided since there was no water, we
would head downstream.
Some went the hillside route, some went down
the creek.....both were not easy!
Slow but steady we went!
We "slid" a lot today....up and down...
back and forward.....
YES, this was a bushwhack....!!!!
We were now looking for a sunny spot
to have lunch.
We found the sun and a stack of rocks....
must be the right spot?
Another pretty neat rock stack....
We ate quick and headed upstream
WF #5
Looking down at WF #5
A nice tunneled rock formation
Would not want to do this is the summer!!!!!
This should be called "Rock Creek"?
Heading upstream towards Devil's Canyon Jr. Falls
This is called "rock scrambling"
Now back to the tunnel and out....
Entrance to the rock tunnel
Inside the tunnel...flash still not working.
Making out way out....and up!
Coming out of the tunnel
Lindsey looks like he has been beat up?
Or maybe he is going to beat me up?
Yuko made it....
Linda made it....
Dana and Rob make it out....
Carleigh made it out....and this is the way
most of us felt....!!!!
We all made it, so now to hike back out and
up to our vehicles.
You can drive most of the way if you have
a high clearence vehicle....
Our welcome sign was still in place....
Carleigh wins the prize today....she was an
amazing little hiker.....
Our "sweeper" Glen
Now time to hit the road and find something
good to eat....we are all hungry!!!!!
