Add me to the "these are beautiful" chorus. The vertical is probably my favorite! Curious if you hiked the serious route or from the bottom? (The less technical route..) Thanks!
Thanks Sharona and Maji for the comments/support. Dave

You mean the 9 mile (RT) strenous hike that has no real trail in a canyon of boulders and dead-ends, which also requires you to descend over a thousand feet just to reach this "trail" is not the serious route? No we went the bottom up. The ones we saw going top down, rappelling into the pool behind us and then diving/swimming to the chamber . . . well is not my idea of packing in expensive camera gear.
I sure like the edit of #2! Having those leaves in the corner be sharp makes a huge difference.
And as for the hike, I am with you, while I am sure it's easier then canyonering down from the top, that hike into the Subway is not for the faint of heart or the weak of knees! When I have done it with Bart he came up with the great idea of bringing an extra Gatorade and then we stash them behind a bush at the bottom of the climb out. That way, at least we had a full bottle to help fuel us back out of that canyon. And I would definitely label that hike as a serious hike.
Thanks again for all the comments and support! Dave

Wonderful set. All are great.
What time of day were you there? I visited last May but missed the glow you so nicely captured.
datafly- I do not know how much difference a November sun location differs from a May placement but I seem to recall the glow really looking good around 2pm.
That third one is my favorite, maybe just because it's the most unique angle on that particular "me too" spot that I've ever seen, but either way it's awesome!
