Northrup Canyon - November 19, 2018

This hike will be among the most memorable hikes in a year of memorable hikes. The interesting basalt geology, the solitude, interesting history, and low angle sunlight combined to make this a magical outing.
The old Northrup homestead.


I soloed this hike and I encountered no one else the entire day. I had the canyon to myself. No other cars were at the trail head when I arrived and when I came out. The solitude was wonderful. there was no wind. The calls of a view birds were the only sounds other than my footsteps.
