Negro Bill Canyon

Spent some time today hiking up Negro Bill Canyon. It's a pretty place, and the hike is a decent one, 2 1/4 miles each way. It's a true box canyon. If I had been an outlaw back in the day, I would have driven my stolen cattle here. There's a year-round stream that runs through the bottom of the canyon, so it would have been perfect.

But I would have had to contend with William Granstaff, who got here in 1877 and claimed the canyon for his own.
