Packing up the llamas. Our guides make sure to balance the loads on each side of each llama, assuring that the total load doesn't exceed that particular animals capacity. The first day would be the longest hike, about 8 miles, through 100+ degree heat.

Our guides knew where all the petroglyphs and pictographs were along the way. These were found on the first day, but we saw them all along the way.

Some of the hikers were willing to stop for a break whenever a handy tree was found.

Other stops were planned at more scenic venues, like this lunch stop the first day.

The first two nights we camped in bend in the creek up a slot canyon known as "Death Hollow". The wall of the canyon had an overhang serving as a roof for the campsite. Here our guides prepare dinner while Suzanne "supervises".

We took a day hike up Death Hollow on the second day. Much of this trip was through the water, as poison ivy and canyon walls often allowed for no choice. The camera stayed in the waterproof bag for the more interesting parts but when it got a little wider it looked like this.
