The Plateau Before the Final Drop

This is called the Tonto Plateau. The trail on the plateau is only slight less inclined because it is so straight! In the middle of the picture you can see a hiker heading down. It seems like you're nearly there at this point, but there is still a lot of trail left to go as you enter the inner gorge. The gorge is much larger than it appears at this point!
