premise: Before Anna and I had started out that day , we consulted with a park ranger and another expert of the area who 'd been hiking it for years . He 'd told us about two paths that were little known - one off the Cottonwood grove that took us to another pass that went through a gap in the mountains , and another of the mountain gap trail that would take us around the mountain to the Aztec cave ( just a name for a large cave ) . We easily found the first one but the second eluded us even after we trailblazed awhile . Part of the path we took as we trailblazed . What may be the reason Anna and I wanted to go hiking ?
hypothesis: Wanted to draw maps of mountain
