Someone was kind enough to mark this spot VERY CLEARLY.  This is the way to the slot canyons – the way that has been blocked by a couple rock slides – the way in which we were unable to go.  Because Dog Dude.

This was the end of the trail for us.  Again, Dog Dude.  He just doesn’t like climbing ladders.  Go figure.

Middle Dude, the fearless one.  Needless to say, my technique for going down the ladder looked a little more … traditional.
