we headed to the trail head of the hike we wanted to do on the following day. This is an area of many old uranium mines through the bentonite hills. We set up camp and hiked out to find the trail so that we wouldn’t have to search too much in the morning. For those of you unfamiliar with hiking in this area, very few ‘trails’ are marked. Guide books read, “if you look to the southwest, you will see an arch in the wingate escarmpent. Look further west and notice where the chinle formation forms a ‘v’ - this is where the trail starts.” We wanted to make sure we weren’t hunting in the heat of day, and we also wanted to wander in the desert twilight.
