This trip was arranged by Chris M of the LVMC.

We drove S from near Colorado City Arizona, on rather rough roads. The first day, we just walked along the rim near the Toroweap campground. The 2^nd day, we took the step hike down to the Colorado River near Lava Falls (the hike starts on the west side of Vulcan’s throne, and is essentially trailless; route-finding is confusing). The 3^rd day, we went up snowy Mount Trumbull, and drove back home.

Here is a GPX (GPS) file of the trip which you may use at your own risk.

Save this file with the extension gpx in the appropriate place (your retarded browser may try to save it as xml).

		1^st day: Our camp near Toroweap overlook.
2^nd day, we park above Lava Falls.
This was a 6^th anniversary.
	Heading back up… a 2700’ elevation-gain slog on much loose talus. Basalt cooling columns.	More cooling columns.
Chris wandered over there by mistake, and I guided him back to my Route.		This side has rudiments of a trail.
	Paperbag bush.
On the 3^rd day, we went up Trumbull, a Basalt cow pie.	The summit is wooded, but there Are nice views to the north.
	View S from trail down.
