The story of seasonal variations in the water level gets a colorful retelling in the rocks here. This is the spot where I will start my ill-advised climb. Wearing a pair of welding gloves and moving partially on my fists, I will crawl straight up the mountainside on this semi-solid torrent of rocks. Why? Because I can, dammit! Hahahahaha! There is a hiking trail running along the peak of the mountain ridge, and I'm intent on reaching it in the most adventurous way possible.
