When we decided to turn back, we wanted to try to climb out of the canyons in a more direct route we'd spotted earlier. Would it work? Maybe. We'd have to find a way up the smooth rock and over the capstone edge.
An uphill slog.
Looks steep, doesnt it! If only there was interesting scenery to look at while we climbed.
The rock looks like muscle fibers. It turns out it was a good move. We found our way out and marched back to the truck on the main road. We met a rich wanna-be gypsy lady from Arizona in a sheep caravan trailer. We got the "Are those.... goats?" question that makes it clear she aint no country girl.
The hike today was a big success even though it was a random hike in a random place. Escalante is awesome!

I don't drink beer, but if I did, I'd prefer Dos Equis. Stay thirsty my friends!
