Anasazi Arch, March 2017

After enjoying a nice wine tasting and lunch in Farmington with our Outdoor Club, we hiked the short route to lovely Anasazi Arch. The route has it's challenges, with three 4-5 foot sandstone cliffs to ascend (and descend on the way back). Having a group is a big help in this situation, and so were the hand and foot holds that previous visitors have carved into the cliffs.

AnasaziArch-1
Always good to have a helping hand, or two, for scrambling up the small cliffs that one must traverse to reach Anasazi Arch.
AnasaziArch-2
Part way up, the Arch comes into view.
AnasaziArch-3
The upper cliff is a little more exposed, but has good foot and hand-holds.
AnasaziArch-5
Anasazi Arch panorama. The arch spans about 40 ft.
AnasaziArch-6
Steve wants to go higher, but this isn't the best way (at least for the rest of us)

AnasaziArch-19
Near the trailhead, an imposing rock spire, as we finish our hike.
