Starting along the Fall Canyon Trail.


Fall Canyon up ahead.

We crossed the wash draining from Fall Canyon, pictured here, and located another wash on the other side.

Heading into the wash on the other side of the Fall Canyon alluvial fan.

Within a wash that sort of inconveniently lost some elevation that we'd have to re-gain, but it was better than going up and down the hills to make the route more direct.

Still within the wash, heading toward north now toward the Badlands, seen ahead.

A pretty canyon with a crumbly arch.

Crumbly arch within the approach canyon to The Badlands.




Lots of colors as we approached The Badlands.

Hoodoos of The Badlands.

More hoodoos. We worked around them in canyons and drainages.


Looking back the way we came as we head out of The Badlands in order to get to Palmer Canyon.

Another shot looking back at The Badlands (left) and the maze of drainages that are possible approach routes. I couldn't tell you which one we took to get here.

Dropping down into the alluvial fan leading to Palmer Canyon.

Mouth of Palmer Canyon.

Narrows shortly after entering Palmer Canyon.

Some easy scrambling.



Very pretty narrows within Palmer Canyon.








Palmer Canyon eventually opened up. This is looking back into the narrows from the wide section. We turned around here.
