This picture pretty well illustrates why we had the
canyons to ourselves on this trip. That ice looks a lot like a map of
the US, except that New England appears to be on steroids. |

This is Larry Canyon, a name which automatically
conjures up images of the Three Stooges in my mind. I was never a big
Stooge fan, but found it oddly fascinating that Larry Fine actually
built up thick calluses on his face from being slapped so many times
by the other Stooges. |
 |
| |
| Larry is not as narrow as some of the
other canyons we've done this week. As a result, it's somewhat
brighter. Between the light and the sculpted walls, I find the canyon
one of the more photogenic around. |

Very scary ... you go first. As Edward Abbey said "The
desert is a land of surprise, some of them terrible surprises.
Terrible as derived from terror." |
 |

|
Larry is known for its tilted narrows and soon begins
to lean to the side. |
 |
|
|
|
Navigation of the tilted section requires a series of
left handed semi-pushups. Eventually we make our way back into the
light. |
 |
|
|
We exit the canyon and route find our way back to the
car. The next day we completed an early morning trip through Trail
Canyon in under 3 hours, then went our separate ways. Here are the
stats for the trip:
Canyons Completed: 10
Days Outdoors 7.5
Pants Destroyed: 3
Pairs of Shoes Destroyed: 1
Showers Taken: 3
Conclusion: A good time was had by all.
