| the hike | On this quintessential Goldfields hike we’ll climb to the Camouflage Tanks by way of Prevention Gap and Wishbone Junction. Time permitting, we’ll visit the Razorback and nearby peaks before making our rough-and-tumble descent through Black Glass Canyon. There will be plenty of boulder scrambling (wear gloves), steep, rocky slopes, thorny vegetation, gorgeous lichens, the spectacular Triple Arch, and mountain vistas on all sides. | ||||||
