The Burr Trail - Again!

Terry & I were here last week - we loved this area so much we

brought the kids back on the last day of spring break to go

on a few hikes and check it out!

You can see forever from this viewpoint!
This is a kiva that you can see right from the road.
We were looking at this butte and wondered if there was a way to
get up on it. Then we spotted a ladder to climb up on top... scary!

Here's a close picture of the ladder.

West entrance to the Burr Trail.

Kierra & Kennedie found lots of "chairs" in the red rocks.

We hiked up in this little slot canyon.

Hiking buddies!

Kelsie the photographer!

You have to throw rocks into any body of water, right?

You do if you're a boy!

Kalin got the big pothole, Mason got the small one above.

We stopped and had a picnic not far from this sign.

This was a common sight...

Kelsie & Delaney trying to find a signal for their phones.

Too bad they didn't find one, hu? Darn.

We saw this arch from both sides,

but on the other side you're much lower,

so it's several hundred feet higher.

The Burr Trail switchbacks!

I don't know how they made a road through these rocks!

We went down them, then back up again to take a different way home-

Cottonwood Road to Skutumpah Road.

We hiked the Willis Creek Trail through some really

cool narrows! Mason gave it 2 thumbs (fungs) up!

Some amazing narrows!

Enjoying the time together.

Delaney & Kelsie heading out!

On Skutumpah Road we crossed Bull Valley Gorge - a very

narrow, deep gorge. The bridge is a single lane built from logs and

dirt layered on an old truck that fell and got lodged in the crack

years ago. You can see the truck if you are in the bottom

looking up - it's kind of freaky!

Almost home - deer in a field on Johnson Canyon road.

We had a great time!
