Amazing and frustrating and amazing and scary and amazing and beautiful backpack to Coyote Gulch.  There was D and Clayton and Sadie and me.  We went down Jacob Hamblin and up Jacob Hamblin with a side trip down to an awesome waterfall.  Summary - frustrating stuff first, amazing stuff second.

The biggest highlight was probably the hour we spent here at the big waterfall.  Bare feet in the water with soft sand and eating lunch and playing and watching Sadie splash through the water with amazing beauty all around.  One of the best lunch spots ever.
