Day 13:
October 9/Friday:
A quiet night in our own boondocking spot and up early to
take a walk on the trail behind our rv.
Walked about 2 miles, took a bunch of photos and off we went to explore
scenic route 12 in Utah.
Enter Dixie National Forest. Oh my it was pure ecstasy to be
in an actual forest and out of the canyons for awhile. Aspens and evergeens, crisp cool air, 9000+
foot mountains and to die for panoramic views at the overlooks. Well we checked out a few of the free dispersed
camping spots and they were not for us…a little too rutted. Sooo, down the
other side of the mountain. We are
camping for the night at Deer Creek Lake Trailhead. Next time we go through
here, I will spring for the $10 and stay in one of the campgrounds, bypass the
free. This side of the mountain is heavy
on the Aspens and devoid of evergreens (boohoo)…but I am loving the
Aspens. I took tons of pictures of them
in full gold.
After an early dinner we took a walk up the trail for about
a mile and then turned around.
There is
one other camper here.
The very happy,
grass fed, free range cows are company for us.
It is chilly up here at 9000 feet.
