Day 6

October 15, 2010

Kwagunt to Nankoweap via the Horsethief Route



 


Today's route stats: 

    Distance:  5.2 miles

    Elevation Gain:  1250 feet

    Elevation Loss:  1650 feet

Our plan for the day was to hike back down Kwagunt to the Horsethief route, then climb to the saddle near Nankoweap Butte, and down into the Nankoweap drainage.  A few of us climbed Nankoweap Butte before heading down to Nankoweap Creek.  We camped in the same place we camped on our first night.
