This is where I parked, the San Rafael Knob looking super far away (the little mound in the center).

Looking around the landscape during the cross-country section before meeting up with the dirt road.

San Rafael Knob in the distance, a cliff being one of many obstacles along the way.

Finally, after heading southeast for a while, I got to the dirt road.

Follow the dirt road all the way to the base of San Rafael Knob.

I walked all the way around the San Rafael Knob, and this is the view from the other side (where there is no way to get up the mountain).

One of two proper approaches.

A fun little 3rd class ledge. If this seems too scary, the alternate route to get to the summit is the way I came down, and it avoids this ledge.

Looking back at the ledge I just crossed.

Heading up the Class 2 scramble section.


A lookout to the south, before the final Class 2 section to the summit.

Cool terraces while heading to the summit of the San Rafael Knob.

View from almost near the summit.

The notch to enter to get to the top.

After descending from the San Rafael Knob, I decided to follow the dirt toad back and meet up with the east side of Devil's Canyon.

Overlooking the narrows of Devil's Canyon East.

In the Devil's Canyon right before the narrows.



The narrow section.

In order to get around the pretty deep water, I climbed up and over. This is looking down into the narrows.


Ridiculously cool textures.

Leaving the narrows of Devil's Canyon East.

Some sections of slickrock while headed out of the canyon.





Approaching the official trailhead (4WD only) for Devil's Canyon. In front of me is Devil's Canyon West - I'll save it for another day. From here, I turned right and headed up the rough dirt road.
