Mile 72.1 Twilight Canyon is up ahead a little past the corner. This grand wall contains "The Eye and the Needle." |
Mile 72.2 "The Eye and the Needle" |
Rock shelter near the mouth of Twilight Canyon. |
Twilight Canyon is about 500 feet deep for the first few miles. |
Much is dark. Sunlight never reaches much of the floor. |
Great depth and parallel walls was this canyon's signature. |
We walked very far up this canyon -- it looked like we could get to the plateau above, but we never had the time to walk that far. Also, the only rattlesnake we saw in Glen was in the boulders of this canyon: a very young rattlesnake which had apparently been washed down from above. |
