Made breakfast and packed a lunch to go went to Glenwood 59 miles up to the Whitewater Canyon to do the catwalk (Steel gridiron walk) anchored to the shear rock walls was used to bring the Silver/Copper out of the mine. This is located in the middle of nowhere. It was 1.1 mile walk to the end, thought we would find the mine but no luck. Saw a lot of deer and antelope.
