"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Cistern and Muddy Creek GorgeSeveral years ago, I hiked Cistern Canyon.
I also hiked the Muddy Creek Gorge when returning from Miners Hollow/Knotted Rope Canyon on May 3 2008.
The last trip was the Quandary/Ramp Loop with my eight year old son on April 16 2011. The full trip report is below:

Ramp, Cistern loopGreat loop. Did as a backpack starting at the Muddy River stated in my page. Getting all our gear up the chalkstone in Ramp was an interesting experience that involved a small rope, climbing up and puling everything up piece by piece.

Cistern and Ramp LoopDid this as a loop hike down Cistern Canyon and up Ramp Canyon. Water was thigh deep and cold but not too bad. The big chockstone in Ramp Canyon has handholds that slant upward.
