Short break before tackling the steepest section

Scouter Kevin appears to have a lot of energy

Checking out the nearly dried up creek

Looking down on one of the switchbacks in the trail

Almost to the top of the trail

Water break at the top

Ready to head out again

Just as careful coming down

Gathering around an airshaft

The airshaft is blocked, but it still doesn't look safe

At the mouth of the gold mine
|
Just 3 cubs at a time
