| Julio and Susan have just finished contouring along the
rocky slope above the palm grove and are about to join the main
canyon. Almost immediately to the left (out of the picture) is the
water chute leading down to the palm grove. You can tell from the
polished granite rocks that a lot of water must flow here during the rainy
season. The chute is very narrow, about 3ft wide, which accelerates
the water into a spectacular cascade running some 50ft
vertical.
Our trek leads to the right, up canyon toward the crest of the mountain
range, then down into Goat Canyon. The going is easy here as the
terrain levels out for about 0.25 miles, but it is only a false
peak. Remaining is some 300ft vertical climb before reaching the
crest, then descending into Goat Canyon.
