Palo Comado/China Flat/Sheep Corral Trail/Chesebro Canyon Loop
Unexpected greeting party
Chesebro Canyon
From Sheep Corral Trail towards Chesebro

Junction Sheep Corral and Palo Comado
Looking back on Palo Comado Canyon
China Flat
The loop from the lower parking lot at Chesebro Canyon up Palo Comado Canyon to China Flat, back down to Sheep Corral Trail, and down Chesebro Canyon is between 10 and 12 miles. The canyons tend to be hotter than the weather stations report, as there are no stations in the park. Palo Comado Canyon is gorgeous!
Poem for a Nearly Spring Day
I see the sky
I climb
I rise
The hills are green
I tire
I fall
I sleep and rise again
Turning
Stumbling
Rising
Falling
Rising
Lost
Undone
Confused
Never abandoned
For at each turn
Each bend
I find a friend
Always the same
The same friend
Who knows my name
Who watches over me
Waiting, singing, for me
To greet me finally
To welcome me…
…my dear friend.
