Another skyline monument rock outcrop with ' U ' cut through it. The ' U ', meaning [ door-way or opening ], located left side area of rock waterfall. We are still in the same area. We left the bear monuments traveling east high near the top of the canyon wall on the old trail. Then came to the fork in the canyon below and traveled the right fork towards the southeast approx. 1/4 mile from the bear monuments. Down about 800 feet into the canyon is what I called the basin because the dry river bed was slightly wider and located below a 200 feet rock waterfall. The length of the basin after the fork bend in the river is approx. 1/8 of a mile to the rock waterfall. Also pass the rock waterfall going southeast and increasing in altitude the canyon continues and the adventure. Their are also many more amazing monuments and markers there, and further up the canyon. For now we are seeing all the many different monuments in the area of the basin only. When I first saw so many monuments in a small area of approx. 1/8 mile by 1/4 mile it amazed me. It was very exciting, like I stepped back in time. The thought that entered my mind was that there had to be a lot of activity going on here for several hundred years, '' the evidence of the cut and worked rock proved it to me.View attachment 748481 Upper top view of rock waterfall in back of basin. If your careful one could climb over the waterfall on the right upper side. What adventures await up there as the canyon continues. Center of photo, monument boulders with wall carving. The wall carving is located behind the monument boulders. Notice all the surrounding rock around the wall carving is lighter in color. Notice in the darker carved area,' to the bottom left area is a drill hole and to the upper right corner in the shadowed area is a cut 90 degrees angle notch.
