Pass Patrol’s first trip to Eagle Canyon was many years
ago. At that time, we were searching for favoriter watering holes along the outlaw trail. We were boldly going
where we had never gone before. After
finding Swazy’s Cabin and the Head of Sinbad (the rock formation behind Swazy’s
Cabin), we became curious as to where the road went in the canyon behind the
cabin. I unfolded a USGS 1/100,000 map
and noticed it showed the road ending at an arch. We decided to see what it looked like.
At that time, Eagle Canyon was much rougher than it is
now. Lack of traffic and a few good
gully washers (rain-storms) had washed most of the road away. We had a lot of fun getting to the arch, but
the road didn’t end there. Once again,
we dug out the maps.
“Looks to me like the canyon goes to I-70,” I commented.
