| partners | | My week to pick, I threw out four different possibilities, and both of my co-hikers chose this option.
It was chilly for the first hundred yards, perfect on the way to the target, and then warmed up with no clouds and little breeze on the return. There was a little mud here and there, which was easily skirted by two of us.
I enjoy the geology out here; I find it different from most of that in the Supes, right across the street. We made our way out and up to the Overlook Arch. Joe took the direct route up the ridgeline, while Linda and I traversed the north slope before climbing up to the ridgeline. There were, in fact, two different arches up here, both large (not) and spectacular (not), but the geology in the area was grand.
After an early lunch up there, we made our way back, hitting different trails. I don't know how anyone keeps track of all the different trails out here. Once again, we passed through quite a few areas of interesting geology.
We arrived at a packed trailhead of ATVs, Jeeps, and horses. Luckily, I think we only passed two horses while on our loop.
Good times out there!
Two of us enjoyed this hike; one... not so much. I'll let you guess based on their triplog. If you were with us, the *itchin would have given it away five minutes into the hike (and maybe on the ride in). |
