It got so rough and so late we decided to turn around and go back, we intend to try again after Christmas,We will leave earlier and walk the rest of the way, we want to find Hidden Spring as well as the ruins.

It was a fun day and our Sun Runner and John and Nicole’s Side Kick, were amazing.

 

It was almost dusk when we got back, I think Louie was glad to see us, he was acting a little silly.

  2. We tried that road a couple years ago in our Santa Fe but ended up turning back as well. Can't remember if we tried it in the Jeep or not but if we did we must have turned around again. It is one of those roads that is best to have another vehicle along...just in case. Very rocky.
