@ramblinghemlock and I felt another weekend of hik @ramblinghemlock and I felt another weekend of hiking and camping seemed wise rather than pushing it too soon. We transitioned to day hiking and camping at the last minute.

 With some map reading, we plotted out a satisfying route. And with some 4WD travel, we also found a quiet spot for the second night. 
...
It's been a cold and wet early spring, but we hope to go backpacking again soon to get even more off the beaten path as Joan strengthens.

@ramblinghemlock is still a bit under the weather, @ramblinghemlock is still a bit under the weather, so we took it easy today and went to the nearby @deadhorsepoint with some of the best views towards the Colorado River and also towards what people colloquially call "Thelma and Louise Point."
