Day 21 – Sunday, October 22, 2017: Today we drove the 16+ miles on dirt road to
see Yellow Rocks. After a bit of time trying to find the trailhead, we began
walking, was redirected by someone and
found the trail. Well it was more of a
scramble than a pleasant walk. Mali was
trying to go off the side and displacing rocks in the process. She is used to opentrails were she can wander at will to
hunt for anything that moves. The trail
went up steeply and needed the use of
hands here and there. I made it to the
false summit and decided that the cottonwoods that I had been oogling were way
more interesting. Down I went and Mali
and David continued onward. It was an
easier although careful downward hike
than I anticipated. Wandering among the
cottonwoods (REAL TREES) was wonderful
and there was a lot of yellow still left in them. There was a small trickling
stream (rare in Utah). David had to play with technique in getting Mali not to
pull him down the steep trail; she ended up short leashed behind him with him not
letting her pass. By time we drove all that way on Slow dirt road, it was mostly a full day. Stopped on the way back to see a cave visible from the road.
Early dinner.
