Hiked with my sons. Caleb=11 and Braden=8. My son Braden's first backpacking trip. Overnighter. Didn't realize the road up Hewitt Canyon was so rough. Took longer than expected. Didn't start hiking until 4:30. Got dark soon, but enjoyed the night hike up and over Tortilla Pass. Boys did great. The last mile down from Tortilla Pass to Angel Basin is pretty overgrown. Fighting catclaw. Didn't get into camp until 9:00 PM. Lots of water in Angel Basin, nice flow in the creek bottom. Very windy in Angel Basin. Boys slept in the tent, I cowboy camped. Not as cold as I had anticipated it to be. Quite pleasant actually. Next morning was absolutely beautiful when the sun hit the cliffs surrounding the basin. Explored the cave dwellings for awhile. The boys were fascinated by them. Couldn't believe they were 700 years old. The hike up Roger's Canyon was phenomenal. Great hiking weather, not too hot, not too cold, gradual incline, beautiful fall colors. We didn't see anybody the whole trip until the last 2 miles up Rogers, then we ran into lots of people coming down. Once at Roger's Trough we hiked back down the road to Woodbury. What a view! You can see forever up there! Boys worn out by the time we got down. Last mile was tough on Braden and I wondered if I had pushed him 1 mile too far. But when we got home he said he wanted a new backpack, better shoes and a new headlamp for Christmas. Success!!!
