Colorado & Utah

[Woody]

Sounds like a great trip! I was in Wyoming and Utah on Sept 11th. Unfortunately only driving through. Some great terrain. Wished I could have detoured to Colorado and spent some time hiking all around the west. Glad you got the chance to get out there.

*Wicked awesome* trip report guys. The geologic diversity of SW Colorado - SE Utah is hard to beat.

Nice that you got to do the Four Asses Loop. Buckskin was my favorite - in mid July there was a HUGE cornice there that had to be negotiated but wasn't really too bad. The mtn. goats rock on the Bells rock, eh?

FWIW, I did the Syncline Loop in Canyonlands a year ago and was surprised at how scrambly it got (on the descent in the counter-clockwise direction). Probably wise to not do it with an impending thunderstorm in the works.

Hot Tomato in Fruita - LIKE!

Awesome TR! I really like the pic of the mountain goats. When I get back out west, I want to hike to see some. Any tips on the best places to hike for mountain goats?

Beer lovers: always byob into Utah!!!!!

happy trails

Hey, just be glad you don't have to be a "member" to be able to get into a bar in Utah any more. They got rid of that in '09 because it was hurting the tourism industry too much.

NIce TR and pics...

The pike are so cute, everytime I travel to Banff I want to bring them home. Thinking maybe the Screech...may be a problem though. Can see security now as my bag screeches through security...

I love the MOuntain goats too, so cool to see the wildlife...!!
