FKT: Erin Ton - Big Dominguez and Little Dominguez Canyon Loop (CO) - 2024-11-17

I was originally going to "Everest" Mount Garfield this day, but when I found that there was too much water in the tunnel to access the trailhead, I had to adapt. I found this route on the map of nearby routes and it looked intriguing. The first few miles of each canyon have pretty well-trodden trails and there is a jeep road on the mesa. Otherwise, it requires a lot of route-finding. Saw some cool pictographs and there was a lot of quartz and cool rocks strewn in the riverbeds. The rock nerd in me enjoyed that. I saw nobody out there all day other than some cows and wild turkeys. I only drank 1L of water... not recommended. To eat, I had 4 CarbsFuel gels, a GoMacro bar, and a Honeystinger waffle.
