Couple more pics of the Gila canyon. Most CDT hikers took the “High Route” alternate because the river was flowing at much higher CFM’s than what the forest service says is safe. There was (1) set of footprints ahead of us, at the time we went through. It was tough sledding; the plan going in was to slow down to 8-10 miles a day and enjoy it because it’s one of the prettiest places anywhere on this planet. Ha! We busted our ASSES to make 8-10 miles a day! In many areas the “trail” was completely washed out by the flooding. It was a hot mess in that canyon.
