Three-4-Thursday


Stairway to Heaven


At about 3.3 miles into our San Juan River trip, we spotted our first of several toehold routes.  The footholds, sometimes locally called "Moki Steps," were carved into the sandstone by the Anasazi and provided precipitous routes up steep cliff faces.





























These ancient Indian footholds are now quite worn, and visitors should not attempt to climb them.  We certainly didn't.
