Easy hike with plenty of ruins, not much in the way of rock art, some shards and corn cobs. We were two of about a dozen people in the canyon that day. Not bad for an Easter weekend.

Another cold morning. We woke up to 17F. This was an easy hike until the end. The ascent to the final cave is a little rough. A lot of loose rock and sand. It was 24F when we got back to the truck.

Rain was threatening, so we stayed close to camp today. Got an early start to do the Fishmouth, thinking there would be others on the weekend. On the way back we decided to bushwhack to the next canyon north and explore. By the time we got back over to the Fishmouth trail, there was a group of ten headed in.

Hike #3 of 10 of our Spring 2014 Utah trip.
Although we saw 'Fishmouth' Cave from Butler Wash Road while out this way last Spring, we never got a chance to work it into our busy plans. So, back again, we figured we should hit this one up early in the week so it didn't get left out again.

We got started on it just fine but after spending so much time exploring two separate ruin sites on the way out to Fishmouth and a longer hike to the other side of comb Ridge up next, well... we ended up glassing Fishmouth, not seeing a great deal of interest, and heading back for our next hike.

Although abbreviated somewhat, we still took plenty of photos and I have a couple videos of the ruin sites:
