Devil's Thumb's rarely seen backside.
Marshall Mesa
This is what Shadow Canyon Trail looks like, mostly. Steep and rocky.
The 'trail' is not always obvious. Get your stairmaster on!
The steep walls of Shadow Canyon provide a cool respite from the heat - and the mosses love it!
Getting up near the top, the trail levels out (relatively speaking) into switchbacks as you enter the burned area (Bison Flagstaff Fire, 2012)
Shadow Canyon offers an interesting look at a standing dead forest left as the remains of a forest fire.
