61.22 Arizona: Lake Havasu: Loop to Lizard Peak via Ext. Blue Trail and down the 'dumb' side.

Stunning. We use the description frequently. You did not have to be there to feel it.
Even Jen, who likes to 'rattle my chain', agrees with the above sentiment...I think.

Some treacherous places on the way down as Jen hits rock-bottom. (Love that bottom).


"Hey, Jen, throw down the rope, please." 

 'What rope? I thought you carried it.'
'Then I'll have to move down backwards...tough section without formal trail but steep and with scree. Are we having fun yet?'
At least one reason to reach the summit of Lizard Peak.
A view from the top: Balanced Rock Cove.
And now...smarty pants?
Jen approaching Lizard Peak via the traditional route.
Another peak view with part of the dense city toward the right. (By the way, the people of the city are not considered dense...well, not all of them. (Excuse me!)
Balanced Rock Cove viewed from top. To the right is the mountain free-climbed last week with delightful views of the lake, river and colorful flora. (Blog 61.18).
Jen captures some boulder hopping in motion.
We feel most fortunate to romp in the wilderness and experience true wonders. 

 A walk in the park...no ordinary park.
2 days later, we are more than a mile across the way looking toward the above 3 positions.
The last hurdle of the day as we climb down a wall on the way home.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
