Mexican Mountain

In the past, we have tried to find the so called "Horse Thief Trail" from the Smith Camp side of the reef, but have been unsuccessful.  Yesterday, we tried it from the other side.  We drove to the end of the Mexican Mountain road and walked out to the airstrip (which was in use).  From there we walked due east to the bottom of a rock slide below a break in the cliff wall.  Bingo!  We scrambled up in a hurry because the days are short and the roads are long.  We reached the pass by 2:30p.  I told EDO, "We've got two hours to make it to the Chev."  Down we went.  We were in Price by 7p.  Pictures HERE.

    1. Thanks, Jess. Yeah, it is spectacular country. And very rugged: You think you're going to go ten miles, but two miles later it is time to turn around.
