Willis Creek Wash/Slot Canyon......22nd April 2017...

Today on recommendation we head out a couple of miles from the RV Park and the turn off for Willis Creek Wash which is then a 6 mile off road drive to the trailhead....
Willis Creek Wash is a series of 5 slot canyons and a 5 mile round hike crisscrossing Willis Creek in the gravelly wash.....
Fascinating shapes carved out by water....
Time to get the walking boots wet !!....

Top of the waterfall and a small detour....


The trail on waterfall detour !!...

I put this photo in to try to give a perspective of canyon wall height...
Yay....a flat rock and great place for our lunchtime sandwich.....
Here we are almost back to the top of the trail with slightly soggy boots and ready to head home for a few bevies and slow cooked pork......
A beautiful view as we crest one of the many hills on the dirt road on our return home....
Another fabulous day out in this incredibly spectacular area of the world...
Tired but very happy and contented....
The Hiking Campers.....
