Gunsight by a Roundabout Way

Once more, the girls tell me where to go.

I wanted to explore the Terrace Canyon route to Rainbow Wall.  We got to the Rainbow route, but went to Gunsight instead, so we wouldn’t be returning in the dark.  Judy and Susan showed me a way to make the cutover from Rainbow to Gunsight a mere class 2 hike (well, for parts…).

Zoom across the way, at sheep.

There were 6-7 sheep; they quickly

ran down the class 2-3 rock and

some stopped on this rock.

Now we head up the east side of

Terrace.
