The Chinle Trail ends rather anticlimactically by descending into the sandy open Coalpits Wash.  |
Heading downstream, we soon encounter Coalpits Spring: dripping walls in an undercut section of rock.  |
A narrow canyon-like section as we descend to the next layer of rock strata.  |
A little waterfall in the sea of boulders.  |
A typical serene view in the lower sections of Coalpits Wash.  |
Good light in Coalpits Wash. Once at the Coalpits Wash Trailhead, it's time to pay the piper and walk the road back to your car.  |
