Meandered through Walnut Canyon Nat Monument near Flagstaff today. Worked up an appetite. Ate my last macadamia nut cookie from Hawaii. Home tomorrow. Maybe.

Glad you have that stick. It seems people that walk normally around town just can’t stay upright in the woods. :rolleyes:
 

 

 

 

 

 

The devil made me do it. :lol:

I've been using a single hiking stick like UB's on any trail or rough ground for a long time, even though I don't (yet) need it on the sidewalks. It's a very good idea, especially on the downhills.

 

My 52-year-old daughter also always uses one on the trail after a stumble when we were on a backpack trip, while we were coming out downhill. Especially with a pack, which creates a high center of gravity. She hit the trail face down, broke her nose and an arm; all in an instant.

 

Since then, always a pole. Gives a lot of extra stability on rough ground.
