At first, in that place, at all times, above the earth


On the earth [was] an extended fog, and there the great Manito was. At first forever, lost in space, every- where, the great Manito was. He made the extended land and the sky.


He made the sun, the moon, the stars. He made them all to move evenly. Then the wind blew violently, and it cleared, and the water flowed off far and strong.

To beings, mortals, souls and all, And ever after he was a manito to men, and their grandfather… All this took place of old on the earth, beyond the great tidewater, at the first.

hawks to Anza-Borrego. Look up above the ridgeline and you may spot a kettle (a large group of hawks swirling around in the shape of a kettle) as they ride the thermals over the valley. You now have the choice to either continue driv-


ing or leaving your vehicle by the Jeep sculpture and starting your hike at this point. While 4WD is normally unnecessary, the road can be rocky in places and high clearance may be desirable. The gated entrance to the road seems to be open throughout most of the year. If, however, the gate is locked, please respect the property owner’s wishes and don’t enter the road. Beginning your walk from here will extend your hike by 2 miles. Either by foot or vehicle, head about 100 yards toward the sculp- ture of a monk, said to be the Spanish padre Pedro Font and his dog, and then on to the sculpture of a saguaro cactus. Continue to follow the dirt road that runs in front of these sculptures westward for approximately 1 mile until it ends. Now on foot, continue heading in a northwesterly direction toward the mouth of the canyon. If you are visiting in the spring, be sure to keep your eyes open for many


Lenape, a central eastern tribe of Native Americans who settled in and around Delaware and New Jersey. Variously described as the Lenape’s Bible and Aeneid, the work had been overshadowed by ques- tions regarding its authenticity since it was first published in 1983 by botanist and antiquarian Constantine Samuel Rafinesque (1783–1840). Some critics claim the document is an outright hoax. The Walam Olum includes a creation nar- rative, a flood narrative, and claims the Lenape can trace their history back to at least 1600 B.C.

different types of desert wildflowers that grow among the rocks and in the washes. There may be some indications of a trail, but in general you’ll be finding your own path. Be sure to carefully note your route so you will be able to retrace your steps. Continue in the northwest direction once in the main wash. At about 1.25 miles and again at 1.75 miles into your hike you’ll note canyons leading off to the left. Pass these by and continue up the main canyon. At about 2.5 miles, bear left to stay in the wash. At this point the trail becomes progressively more rocky and eventually requires boulder-scrambling so continue as desired though remember to check if you have enough water and energy. At about 3 miles there is a dry waterfall that makes a good turnaround point. Follow the same general path back to reach your vehicle.
