Ok this took 18 videos to complete. This, by far was the most exciting hike and spirtual and "FEEL GOOD" trail we have sought out so far. Man I mean what I get to go through here was unbelievable and yet I did it! Follow along... The videos get better and better on this trip!

Lake Mohave is where we are hiking down to here. Through a large canyon river bed that in 30 days will be full and get's to 75 ft deep. yeah.......

Here are some picks but the videos are a MUST SEE. I will place them at the bottom.
