Idlehour trail 2/15 to (formerly) Markham canyon

[AW~]

Interested in some canyon filming, I made it to where the trail crosses the creek in 3 hours(including some minor explorations). A lot of water running around Eaton, and I could hear the creek well before getting there. The trail then goes up towards Muir Peak, but why would we want do bag a peak?

Down the canyon, which ends at Eaton canyon. Gotta get a new name for this route. Last time luckily I was able to grab a few pics thanks to Hikeup, but now have a new memory card After that, I took Eaton canyon down to the telephone trail and out of there. All in all a lot of water flowing...and a lot of sand to boot.

A side exploration to the creek north of Harvard branch ended in a thorn chocked narrow canyon(above this waterfall)....


Another venture after pk3513 Markham to get down to some rock outcroppings, but it was too brushy and too much elevation loss for me to fit it in.
