This tree skeleton that seems to get thinner going down to the ground and with dead branches also arcing downward gives the eerie impression of standing on its head. It is a good marker for the beginning of Lost Creek canyon that cuts sharply here into the rim, leading the trail away from the valley-view edge for a couple of miles. Lost creek is a potential water source, albeit with a 500 foot drop that probably costs an hour total to refill your water bottles.
