We got within site of the bottom and still had to fight our way down. The trail (and I can't be sure we were still actually on the trail) cut across several slickrock bowls, down small ledges and overall didn't want to let us go. I finally lowered myself and the bike down and then spent a little time hollering directions and encouragement back up to the Denver Gang and another couple that came down just after.

Not home yet--the trail dumps out onto Kane Creek Road right at the base of a big, slow, hot climb. This is the climb just beyond the Amasa Back trailhead. I'd get to do it a second time two days later when we returned from Lockhart Basin.
