How long of a hike is that Plateau Point from the rim? I know my knees can’t do the whole way down, but maybe this would still be possible. Sounds amazing.

Unreal!
What is the dark stuff - barnacles? Or some sort of vegetation that only likes it in that narrow strip close to the ocean?

Jumping between rock towers is actually something some climbers do for fun. (Not me!)

I loved climbing there, because there were so many natural hand grips and little holes to stick feet into. And the rock is soft. Much unlike the nasty finger-eating granite I climbed in Joshua Tree in later years.

Yup, was thinking the same thing. Grew up in Dresden, and did a lot of hiking and rock climbing out there in my youth.
For all those who are not familiar with it, it’s also called Saxon Switzerland. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxon_Switzerland

Perms are a very common thing in Caucasian women once they hit their 60’s and their hair thins out - unless you want to look like a plucked bird. I suppose black women get their poisonous styling done earlier in life.

Is hair relaxer more toxic than perm solution?
Seems to me that all hairdressers are exposed to awful chemicals.

I once had two female cats, one somehow got out and got pregnant, we fixed the other one real fast but allowed the first one to have her litter. The “auntie” cat got so involved that the kittens tried to nurse on her. She also sometimes tried to steal the kittens, grabbing them and carrying them off.

That’s the magic of the Narrows hike. You actually hike in the river. Sometimes on one bank or the other, but constantly crossing through the water. As the canyon walls narrow, the water gets deeper. Depending on recent weather, it can easily be hip or even chest high in some places. It’s amazing. Obviously a summer hike.
The trick to really enjoying this hike is to wear a swimsuit under your clothes and don’t take anything with you at all. No camera, no backpack, no phone, nothing. That way you won’t have to worry about stumbling, and can even float some sections on the way back.
