The Loop320 viewsJoAnn (left) and Kelly (right) pose at the sign marking the beginning of the Cottonwood-Marble Canyon Loop. On the Road to Marble Canyon320 viewsThe road from Stovepipe Wells to Marble Canyon is passable for high-clearance 2-WD vehicles, but 4WD is highly recommended. Keyhole Kave317 viewsI don't know whether the hole in the cliff wall really leads to a cave, but I gave it a name anyway. Heading Back314 viewsThese towering cliffs are part of the scenery on the road between Stovepipe Wells and Marble Canyon. An Easy Hike310 viewsAs far as I went, the trail was mostly level and relatively smooth. I think it got harder up ahead, but I didn't get that far. From Shadow to Sun309 viewsThe contrast between the sunlit and shadowed areas is like night and day. Overhang308 viewsPossible shelter from rain, if it ever rains here. Fork in the road302 viewsThe sign indicates two possible ways to go, Cottonwood or Marble Canyon. We followed the advice of the guy who said, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Ingress to Marble Canyon301 viewsJoAnn starts the trek into Marble Canyon from the trailhead, where we parked the Jeep. Tilt301 viewsThroughout the canyon the rock layers seemed to be tilted at about a 60 degree angle. Rock Anomalies293 viewsWas the circular blotch on the rock a lichen growth or an "insert" of some sort? As it turned out, it was a portent of things to come. 27 files on 3 page(s) 1 2 3 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 84a53a9bcce1201d703ae9e9671ff8b6 [am] => 1 ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.47 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.3 ms) [2] => SELECT session_id FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = 'cb88aeebdb9125984df247d855ae10ad' [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (0.9 ms) [3] => INSERT INTO `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions (session_id, time) VALUES ('cb88aeebdb9125984df247d855ae10ad', 1760290724) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:59] (0.41 ms) [4] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.29 ms) [5] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.24 ms) [6] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.23 ms) [7] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.25 ms) [8] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.25 ms) [9] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-10-12 17:38:44' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.43 ms) [10] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.211' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.79 ms) [11] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.23 ms) [12] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 39 [thumbnails.php:136] (0.27 ms) [13] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 16 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.26 ms) [14] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 39) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 [include/functions.inc.php:1717] (1.18 ms) [15] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 39) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits DESC, pid ASC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1734] (1.65 ms) [16] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.34 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => topn [cat] => -39 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [cpg16x_data] => YToyOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiI4NGE1M2E5YmNjZTEyMDFkNzAzYWU5ZTk2NzFmZjhiNiI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO30= ) ==========================
