And finally I reached the Maze Overlook.
|
Brimhall Point - in order to bring you the best views possible I jumped across the gap between these two tops, it's only 640 feet to the canyon bottom...
|
The next jump seemed a litle too challenging, maybe if I hadn't hurt my knee!
|
Here's a satellite view of Brimhall Point, you can actually see the rocks I jumped between and the lonely rock
|
The Chocolate Drops, looking over the south fork of Horse Canyon.
|
Closer to the drops, strange spire in the background.
|
I haven't been able to find it on the topo map but it surely must have a name.
|
Looking more to the west, there is a hiking trail from here to the canyon bottom.
|
The bottom is actually quite inviting, there was a park ranger out here, he told me that the trail involves some 'hand over hand' climbing, maybe next year. He also told me that it wouldn't be a problem to drive the Tundra out here, he was in a Chevy Silverado, on the other hand I had found his spare wheel in the middle of the trail a few miles back, he didn't even know he had lost it.
|
The topo map makes it quite obvious why this area is called The Maze, Brimhall Point is right at the top with the Chocolate Drops directly south of it.

Here's a satellite view of the same area
