Three weeks in the Sonoran desert

Geez, Geek, that's super scary! So far I've never been out control above a drop off like that and hopefully never will. 

What do you estimate the mileage from 190 to the mouth of No Name to be?
I'm no good a estimating distances so here's a comparison from 190 and from Salt Creek. BTW I discovered that No Name Canyon actually has two mouths, one draining towards Salt Creek and the other towards 190 but they converge up stream a quarter to half a mile into the only drainage. I put the comparison to the single upstream mouth. 

Little Bridge is worth a re-visit. I took an unconventional return route from the end saddle back down the northeast ridge line.

Here's the canyon mouth distance comparison for you.
