Everyone will have fun on this run! Doug leads a fun trip thru this area. Watch the section that goes along the edge of (Sometimes not so dry) Harper Dry Lake. I followed Roger's son Steve a little to close and got this slimy surprise!

Mat, Tiffany, Carleigh and myself left Peggy Sue's at 8:45am. We took I-15 and Hwy 58 to Hinkley, and then took Hinkley Rd North to Fossil Bed Rd. We took Fossil Bed Rd to Black Canyon Rd. North on Black Canyon Road into Black Canyon and the Black Mountain Rock Art District.



We made our way up Black Canyon to Inscription Canyon where we parked the Jeeps and walked up Inscription Canyon.
