Both were hard, but getting down was harder, also longer because the mesa tilts to the south we had to descend nearly 1500'. Stay tuned for those photos (my knees still hurt).

Once the latest storm blew over we crossed back over to the far western edge of Cummings Mesa. This edge, overlooking West Canyon had by far the best views as well as very interesting archaeology. Half way thru the trip the scenery just got crazy spectacular. The first two photos gives a nice sense of the immense vertical scale of the West Canyon region. The rest were taken from the edge of our camp that night. It had a very "Sierra-like" feel to it as there were literally 30 little "tarns" some as big as 30 feet across, accompanied by Navajo Mountain peering down on us from the distance.
