At the base of Little Grand Canyon is a valley filled with buttes and camping sites. We met a guy at Huntington Airport that told us the local pilots are working to put in a backcountry airstrip here.
Winds were calm this morning and we headed straight up the Rio Puerco Valley with few scenic detours. We took a look at the mud water fall, flowing nicely from the summer rains.
We continued due north for Pagosa Springs.
