Morning Glory Arch

Well
I finally got it figured out how to upload movies.
We hiked up a place called Negro Bill Canyon. I suppose this was great because we did not have to pay go hike this place. We showed up early enough that we only saw one couple in front of us. The hike was easy. Raquel and Becca did pretty well. Actually Becca was trying to let us go in front, but after awhile she was in the lead. (And I was bringing up the rear). But it was a great hike. Since we really did not know where we were going or what was at the end, we did not know what to expect.

Then, we could tell we were at the end of the canyon. But then we heard a bunch of yelling. Oh, great I thought to myself, there are a bunch of people (hippies) up here.

But to our surprise, there were only two couples in front of us and four people that were repelling down into the canyon. We got to see first hand how they rappel.

I always wondered how they all get to the bottom then get the rope back. They explained that the rope is looped over a ring. When they go down they are using both ends of the rope. Then when they are finished they just pull one end of the rope and it slips out of the ring still at the top. [Can anyone explain this better than me?]

Just to hear the stream as it trickled in to the box canyon. And can you see the Poison Ivy?
