Santa Elena Canyon Trail - 1.7 miles
This trail is often impassable due to flooding during the summer rainy season. No problem today - there's been no rain since November. It is one of the prettiest short hikes in the park.
Can you see the trail ahead?
The trail climbs some concrete steps.
Then slopes down gradually down to the river's edge inside the Canyon
It continues farther into the Canyon winding among larger boulders. Looks like shade ahead!
Glad we kept going - what a great spot
Time for a nap! After all we will have hiked a total of 8.5 miles today!
It ends abruptly where the Canyon wall meets the river. This is one of the narrowest places in the 7 mile long Canyon. Wish we had a Kayak!
Oops - the shoreline looks a little mucky! She was trying to save her shoes but lost them in the end.
Meanwhile, we keep on Trek'n
More Later,
Melissa and Gary
