Barely visible are Cheryle Wenkle and Cyn Turner who brought the llama team.

On Saturday, this crew worked on about 85% of the length of the trail segment leading from the bottom of the drainage up to the access trail.

Eric's crew building a switchback. A lot of innovation was required to find ways to get water off this steep trail.

In some sections the trail followed a drainage line until it could be directed off trail. Check/Steps were placed here to aid trail users and prevent further down-cutting.

Pati and Ken Fiebelkorn used Palo Verde limbs to obstruct the interior of a turn.

These four are not hauling a fallen volunteer. It is a step rock.

On Sunday, Kathy Sharp and Rogil Schroeter led a large group of the volunteers through the slot. (return top the main report page for images from within the slot from prior trips).

Here Kathy demonstrates a lateral, balanced-thrust hip-drop move from transiting between pools.

Other shots of the team entering the canyon. (The photographer didn't go through.)
