| - It's probably all been said but hey I just climbed Echo Canyon and I wanna throw my stars in! To all the people I've met who've lived here longer than I and who have climbing it on their list of things to do just go ahead and do it. Camelback gives goooood feeling!
I have had the pleasure of hiking in many countries and I absolutely dig this kinda big boulder hiking with steep inclines, narrow crevices, and rock overhangs to sit beneath. We saw about 4 iguanas sunning, lots of hummingbirds, a squirrel, and 2 chipmunks. I failed to see what landed on my shoulder and bit me, :(, a bee perhaps, but I smacked it away and my friend extracted the stinger from my skin! (I don't know what prompted the sting but I definitely won't wear white again. My tank was loaded with little black flying things and the others I met on the trail wearing white had the same complaints. Extra bugs due to the rain I hear.)
And hey fellow hikers, that's a good sense of community you have there on the trail! Best part----climbing back down, sorta run/climb/jumping the rocks!!! It was hottt today, yeah, but we had a sweet breeze, lotsa water, a few Luna bars, and an apple. Be prepared, and take time to enjoy the journey!
