Today we are off to explore Wire Pass, an area with a slot canyon. We’ve hiked in on the Wire Pass trail last year but we turned around when we reached a place in the slot canyon that includes climbing down several feet on a rickety makeshift ladder. This year the ladder no longer is in place, rather there is a rock scramble up out of the slot canyon and back down into it. We have no clue how easy or not the scramble is so we are off to find out.
After the hike to the slot canyon we reach where the ladder once was, turn around and find the place to scramble out. We manage to scramble up but when we see what we need to scramble down to get back into the canyon we make the choice to turn around and head back the 75 miles to our campground.
