Beautiful Fall weather encouraged us explore the San Rafael before DST ends and the nights get even more colder.
First is the selfie with the magnificent monuments behind me.
The following pics are of the area, with the cottonwoods in their autumn magnificence. Not a hint of a cloud in the gorgeous blue sky for days...
The river level was quite low, so we were able to cross over and climb up on the ridges, giving us a perspective of the area. The problem was getting down... lots of steep drop-offs in the gullies. And some interesting patterns found in the gullies.
Wandering around, I found an interesting man made structure, which I found protected a USGS marker. Curious how they did this since getting there was quite difficult.
A little luxury was added to this trip.
A couple tips... the breakfast burrito (all day) at Lamy's in Huntington. Also the hot dog (grilled) at the Sinclair at the Price exit to Highway 10. The cool local cops hang there too... dig the vehicle...
Can't wait for Spring and another trip... and another hot dog and burrito...
