North of Spanish Canyon | Hike 09
Four of us went on a Sunday hike in the blistering cold. We chose an area that tends to be a little warmer than the surroundings. I had one scary descent that got my heart racing. De made it look so easy.

Hike 09 | 02-11-18
Four of us went on a Sunday hike in the blistering cold. We chose an area that tends to be a little warmer than the surroundings. I had one scary descent that got my heart racing. De made it look so easy. I found this gorgeous eroded pool on top of some massive boulders. You can spent years hiking in the Wichita Mountains and still find new and amazing surprises.

The Ultimate Crapshoot
I said it then and I’ll say it now, “Crapshoot is the funnest way down Elk Mountain.”
The Ultimate Crapshoot
After 2 years of planning and talking about it, we finally attempted The Triple Crown, and failed. But man did we fail gloriously. We discovered that if you do Crapshoot right, it’ll take you four plus hours. If you add the four plus hours it takes to finish The Chavez (which contains The Water Caves and The Rock Rooms), you have a very challenging course. I said it then and I’ll say it now, “Crapshoot is the funnest way down Elk Mountain.”
