Day 02

Day 2 - Dayhike up Cat Canyon. Very hot day. Dizzy Trail Canyon comes into Cat Canyon right above my camp. Go up Cat Canyon. Very cool narrows. Spring area above narrows - try the water but it sucks even worse than the river. Upper part of Cat is open, has lots of cool little side canyons. Hit a dirt road (same dirt road that I would have been on if I had taken a left at the intersection on day 1). Take it across a ridge - 45 or 50 minutes to Dizzy Canyon, very hot, not a bit of shade. Then down Dizzy. Upper part is open and long. Intermittent narrows, strange spring coming down rocky chute (sucks, but is slightly better than river). Lower part of Dizzy very cool - one pouroff would be hard to come up - jumped off side to avoid pool. Bottom part of the canyon very narrow - rockfall dam - overgrown in places. Finally get back to camp, bath in river, take another nap. Pump some water, eat dinner, and the river water hits! Many trips to the bathroom, including 3:30 am
