Climbing out of a pour-off in Butler Wash, Seldom Seen Arch appears, which the hiker must climb through.

A scramble up a rocky cliff is necessary to descend into Beef Basin. Which route would you choose?

Following a sandy wash in Beef Basin, tumbleweeds sometimes pile together and block the way.

A built trail for Fable Valley is hard to find at first, but then follows an old pack trail for miles of views.

The route goes up another wash, with running water. Several times a day this hiker must scramble around pour-offs too steep to climb– too many times to mention.
