A couple of weeks ago we did a hike that was supposed to take us to a Goldfield Mountains arch called "The Mask." We couldn't find it on that hike so today we tried a new route to the arch. Today's route started at the end of Idaho Road. Not really a trailhead but there was a wide shoulder where we parked. The hike mostly follows a wash that goes north into Bulldog Canyon. Once there we were hiking on the same route as the first hike we did into the area. Unfortunately once again we couldn't find the arch! This time it was due to a late start and wanting to be back well before darkness fell. But we had a great hike and will try to "bag" the arch again soon.

We stayed in the wash past the point where we should have left it.
This lead to some pretty steep rock climbs. I lost my water bottle
climbing up one of these. Luckily Karen was behind me to get it.
Karen picked up a Cholla piece. I used my multi-tool and a comb to get it off.
Not sure what animal this leg was from or what animal ate it!
