Trek 2:15:00 [1]
shoes: Salomon FW15 Proto 3rd Pair
We bought a topo map and I constructed a route from a dirt road down to the bottom of the gorge and back...smart to end on a climb back up, right? Wee announced after 200m that she was too tired to walk...awesome. Onto my back she went and I also had the 30L so I was loaded up. The technical route down was a bit sketchy in spots as the drops were precipitous. Almost at the bottom, we hit what was a leper colony back in the 13th century. Talk about secluded! Once at the bottom, our lunch spot really was stellar. The gorge walls were all around us and the river flowed by. Too bad about 500+ boats paddled by during our stop there - no exaggeration. Heck of a way to treat a UNESCO site, in my view.
