And eventually the trees open up and the trail straightens out and you come out into the canyon itself.
At this relatively low spot along the trail we were already hitting occasional patches of snow, indicative I guess of the fairly high snowfall winter earlier in the year. These of course got more numerous and wider as we continued on, and they were at the tricky stage where they aren't nice soft snow but more like glazed ice. That would ultimately put a limit on how far we were going this day--didn't need anyone slipping and breaking anything--but there was one particular spot I wanted to reach before turning around.
