Cathedral Wash

A beautiful hike down a wash to the Colorado River. A little technical in places -- you have to skirt along ledges so as not to drop into the deep puddles at the bottom of the wash -- but we all made it and had fun.

Next: Tuesday: Nautilus Rock, Toadstools, Horseshoe Bend

Up: Vermillion Cliffs
