**AND**

• You must have done one of my Tier 3 or higher hikes with me OR have a "Scrambling Skills" pin.

**HIKE DESCRIPTION**

This route was created as a result of changes made to a prior exploration hike. It includes many obstacles that are already well-known, but changes the direction. It also adds many obstacles that are not very well-known.

We'll go up a regularly used canyon, but take a different route and from there go through a slot that you normally have to dangle your legs to get through. We'll go down into a rarely used tunnel and head up towards a long pond (that is now commonly dry). We'll go through Sebbastion's Passage and come back through some areas that a not that well-known.

I'm always hopeful to see wildlife in these areas. Check out my [wildlife gallery](http://richardwaltjen.com/galleries-2/animal-gallery/) for some of my favorite pictures of animals I've seen.

• Helmets are always welcome. Be sure to use one that doesn't block your sight.
• Always carry "in case of emergency" numbers with you.
• No guests will be allowed without my prior approval.

YOU MUST BE ON THE "GOING" LIST IN ORDER TO GO ON THIS HIKE. CRASHING WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.

Meet Location will be sent by text or message on the day prior to the hike.
