The weekend of 15 Jan 10, Tracy and I did an 8 mile loop in Wildhorse Canyon (Google Map).
This was a nice, relaxing hike. We hiked to the end of the canyon, then hiked across the
slickrock back towards the road, and then finished the loop via the road. There was
considerably more snow than I expected, and they told us in Green River that they hadn't had
this much snow in over 15 years. We tried to drive out to Chute Canyon, but there was more
snow than I was comfortable with driving in. There was virtually no snow on the south side of
the swell, near Bell Canyon, so we may go back there later in the season. On Sunday we
hiked on some slickrock in Poison Spring Canyon (Google Map). The weather on Sunday was
nicer, and we had a good time just exploring the slickrock. We tried to drive down to the Dirty
Devil River, but we ran into a solid sheet of ice on the road, and had to turn back. We drove
back home through Capitol Reef. This was a nice weekend, but the snow down south made it
tougher to get around.
