Our walk started by walking across
a dam and
along a trail for about ¼ of a mile. Then we turned up that hill
behind us to a rickety old ladder set upon the great wall. That's
how we got up on the wall. |
|
|
We soon came upon a
watch tower. You can see another one further in the distance.
It was just fantastic to be here by ourselves. |
|
|
The wall was a bit steep in spots and the layer of snow made it a bit interesting.
|
It was a crisp, clear, perfect blue sky day! |
|
|
Emily was thrilled
that we let her walk so far ahead on her own. She really wanted to
do it!
|

|
Our trip ended way
down in the valley behind us. We didn't continue up the opposite
ridge. There certainly was nothing stopping us. I think there
are a lot of potentially interesting extended walking trips in this area.
|
|
We climbed down off
the wall at one point to cut across a valley. There was another big
peak to cross if we stayed on the wall and Emily was getting tired.
|
Now back on the wall
on a final steep section.

Looking across the
valley to a broken section of wall. |
