Dripping Springs Side Canyons






Tom visits the side canyons of Dripping Springs circling all the way around and above the main north south canyon. Following the big horn trail around the main canyon Tom leans over numerous overhangs attempting to find a way down. Eventually he realizes if there aren't big horn tracks leaving the main trail to each of these side canyons, then there isn't a way down. The big horn live here and they already know all the ways up and down. Coming to sandstone the big horn tracks disappear. With binoculars Tom can see big horn tracks resuming in the canyon below. They went down somewhere near here. Twice Tom descends when he finds just the faintest of a track on the sandstone and twice he relearns he can't do what they do. Eventually finding a third trail leading down Tom makes his way to the main canyon.
