It was a repeat hike for us but still a fun one. The trail wanders through a wash with the highlight being clambering through a slick-sided, narrow, slot canyon that includes an erosion smoothed pour-off that creates a steep slicky slide.  It is only about 9 feet high but as I was setting at the top steeling my nerves for my descent it seemed more like 15 feet. Kent had a bit of trepidation as well but both found the actual plunge great fun and a nice addition to the hike.  Wild flowers dotted crevices and ledges and the brilliant blue waters of

the lake created a wonderful contrast with the red cliff shores.
