Bill & Roger find a bit of shade (not much around here).  It was a very hot day and we found a nice camp site on a bench a stones throw from here.

Another view looking east.  Our camp ws located near the house sized brown rock in the canyon below just to the right of the "shelf" rock in the middle of the picture.  The large brown rock was dubbed "Danny's Rock".

Looking west down Slickhorn.  They say the going is rough from here on with few camp sites.  This was one of the reasons we opted to end our down canyon trek at this point. (It was also damn hot as well).
