We arrived at a camground near Benasque, where we found thunderstorms forecast for all of the next day, and decided to spend a couple nights to wait out the weather. This gave us a chance to see the town, which we found filled with outdoor gear athletic shops and teaming with super-athletes. It turns out that a series of trail marathons and super marathons were scheduled for the next three days. The longest of these was over 100km and had more than 6000 meters of elevation ascent and decent in the space of circumnavigating some of the Pyrenees highest peaks. The runners wear headlamps and run through the night, and while we saw a few limping along on damaged ankles and with bloodied shins, it was amazing to see them running full speed both up and down boulderfields on mountain passes.

Boynton Canyon Trail 2009-03-11: For our mid-week hike, we hiked Boynton Canyon Trail. The trail runs alongside Enchantment Resort at the beginning of the canyon, and is a very popular, high use trail. There are several well-known ruins in the canyon. Near the beginning of the trail is a side trail called Vista Trail leading up to a view up-canyon and of the surrounding scenery. Vista Trail ends at an area regarded by many as one of Sedona’s spiritual vortex sites.
The trail was quite busy and, like many of our fellow hikers, we headed up Vista Trail. After returning to Boynton Trail, we went off-trail further on, looking for a route up on the ledges along the canyon wall. We hit a wall where we’d hoped to find a route between two cliff walls, but we did enjoy the views and found a tiny cave along the cliff.
We headed up the canyon, which become progressively more heavily treed, and ponderosa pines become increasingly numerous. The near the end of the canyon, the trail ascends a steep section of slickrock and ends at a sign discouraging off-trail hiking in the area. The view of the canyon is fantastic, and it is possible to follow the ledge to the right around to get views up the canyon.
This is in the valley near my house. The trail is impassable in many places with as much as 10-20 feet of trail covered with fallen trees at many points.

I was on my way home from a backpacking trip in the Tuolumne Meadows region in September when it started to become cloudy - conditions I like for shooting during the day in the forest. I found a place to pull over along Tioga Pass Road - I think it was near a trail that might run between White Wolf and Lukens Lake, but I'm not certain - and I found this quiet section of forest full of large trees and open ground.

Soldiers Pass Trail.
We did a fantastic loop hike up Soldiers Pass Trail and down Brins Mesa Trail, taking Cibola Pass Trail (after an ill-advised off-trail detour to Cibola Mitten) back to Soldiers Pass Trail for a 6 mile loop hike. On Brins Mesa, we took photos of the recovery of the mesa from the 2006 Brins Fire, part of a long-term project to document the recovery in photos. Coming off the mesa rim, we thought we could hike off-trail up to the saddle between Cibola Mittens and Brins Ridge and locate a trail down to Soldiers Pass Trail from there. While we're pretty sure there's a non-system trail leading up to the Mitten, we went off-trail at the first attractive wash, and ended up bush-whacking and clawing our way up to the saddle... about halfway up to the saddle, covered in scratches, I announced quite vocally that going off-trail was a really dumbass thing to do. We made it to the saddle, and the setting sunlight on the red rocks probably made the bushwhacking worth it. We watched the sun set behind Capitol Butte, then discovered we couldn't find the trail down (if, indeed, there is one) and opted to head for Cibola Pass Trail instead of take our chances. It was solidly dark by the time we hit Soldiers Pass Trail, but a half moon helped light our way and we kept the flashlights in the pack.
