Backpack the Painted Canyon Loop, Honeycombs Wilderness

05/03/16

Great overnighter with my son down and back up Honeycomb canyon. Good map reading and GPS important because easy to get off course since trail is sketchy at points. Resist temptation to bushwhack unless only option or confident on direction. Try to stay on trail at least until in the canyon. Had an interesting face off with a solitary stallion who finally backed off. Probably not in danger but he was definitely letting us know we were on his turf. Believe warnings about slick mud with little rain. A great hike!!
