Down Nankoweap Trail
And we finally did find our trail, though not until mid-afternoon. We decided to tank up on runoff from the snow and traverse the 5 miles to Tilted Mesa for the night, a few miles short of our goal of Nankoweap Creek. The traverse followed a sometimes narrow and exposed shelf high above the canyon floor, but the many dire assessments we'd read about the Nankoweap Trail's dangers proved way overhyped, especially with no snow on the narrowest parts.
