| Our
canyon hike, at Eagle Creek, required some light canyoneering skills.
Center photo, Robert Leupp shows us one of those skills. Ella Mae
Howard, our hike leader, in white hat and pink shirt, spots for hikers
dropping from a high boulder. Right, spires and an opening along the
trail reminds one of Captains Lewis and Clark's descriptions. Left
photo, a volcanic dike running like a wall over a sandstone cliff.
Lewis was amazed by them: "In the midst of this fantastic scenery
are vast ranges of walls, which seem the productions of art, so regular
is the workmanship. They rise perpendicularly...to the height of 100
feet, varying in thickness from one to twelve feet, being as broad
at the top as below." |
