Many Pools and Point 6000+ - 4.3.2016
A photo of the GPS track for our trip to Many Pools and on up to Point 6000+... 2.76 miles roundtrip, gaining 1189 feet of elevation.
|
We parked in a pull-out on Hwy 9... about one mile east of the small tunnel.
|
We walked a half-mile or so further east on Hwy 9 and entered a drainage on the north side of the highway.
|
We found some petroglyphs after hiking a very short distance in the wash.
|
Leaving the Wash and heading up on slickrock... Nippletop is in the distance on the left.
|
Continuing up on slickrock... Ariel Peak on the right.
|
Several of the Many Pools.
|
Instead of continuing on the lower Many Pools route we decided to head up on the slickrock.
|
Working our way higher on slickrock... Ariel Peak is behind Denali Girl.
|
Continuing higher... looking back across the highway... Nippletop is the highest peak.
|
Getting very steep as I near my high point of 6000+.
|
Looking at the southern end of Cable Mountain.
|
Someone put a cairn on Point 6000+... Ariel Peak on the right.

Looking west toward Twin Brothers (left) and the southern end of Deertrap Mountain.

Heading down and looking back at Point 6000+ in the center of the photo.
