| no partners | | Pulled off the Burr Trail to head up Upper Muley Twist. Most of the route can be driven with high clearance, at least to the Strike Valley Overlook trailhead. Have to watch for the arches along the way. Surprise Arch was first and very visible up high. There is a cool double arch on the left and then another one higher up a little farther up the trail.
Hiked to the Strike Valley Overlook and did some other exploring. The trial is well marked and easy to follow. Light wasn't the best but the colors of the uplifts below are, well, striking.
Great little side trip while driving the Burr Trail.
