Shirley hiking up to Sister...

Shirley hiking up to Sister Superior. Convent is on the right; Parriot Mesa is on the left. Our car is indicated by the blue circle - you can almost get to the trailhead proper without the need for high clearance (you'll have under 0.25 mile of road hiking to do); yellow line shows the Ida Gulch Road from where it leaves the River Road. Colorado River is in the background. Most of the approach trail and the trailhead are out of the photo on the left side (April 10, 2005).
