Although not as difficult as getting down from Cummings Mesa, getting back to where we're scheduled to be picked up by boat on Lake Powell still took a bit of route finding and navigation. En route we saw yet more beauty. This was day 16 of our 18 day backpack.

Still waiting on the genie from the lantern in image number two to grant me my wishes.

I think the genie already granted good wishes: that you’re safely down from the hike and you have great photos and memories.

Stark, rough beauty! Beautiful, and interesting landscapes. Wonder what the structure in the 4th one was used for?

It's a Navajo Hogan probably about 100 years old or so. Was housing for the family that tended sheep in that area during the summer months.
