What's the most remote difficult place to reach in the park?
#35
The only sketchy things about Dry Bone are it’s remoteness and the one scramble down into the canyon.  Other than that it’s literally a walk in the park.  Or a walk in a wash.  That down scramble is a bit intense.  IIRC I slid a portion of the way down.  Occasionally controlled.  And there were at least two small sheer sections where I lowered my pack by rope and then climbed down, mainly out of an abundance of caution.  Or so I’d like to think now.  Lol.  It’s not extremely difficult, just a fair bit harrowing.  The cost of screwing up is immensely high that far out. 

But the rest of the hike is merely that: a hike. 

If I could do it again I would take more time.  I wish I had taken more water and planned on spending several days in there to explore side canyons.  I think I had a threat of rain in 48hrs when I went in, so was somewhat limited.  As it was I had 60mph winds for my hike out across the valley.  Stunning hike though.  Damn I miss that place.

Here the view at the drop in.
