We spent the last three days in the backcountry, but I left myself no time for posting each day. To summarize: On Friday, we drove out to Bull Point and found our way to the main stem of Robbers Roost Canyon. There was a huge pictograph panel at that location. We walked downstream to the confluence with the Dirty Devil River, explored briefly into the South Fork of RRC, and then climbed out (above).
On Saturday, we drove 15 or 20 miles up the Flint Trail and parked along one of the fingers of Rock Canyon. We tried to hike in the bottom of the canyon, but it was very steep and we finally encountered an insurmountable pour-over.
On Sunday, EDO went out with her friend Max, while VSO and I made it to Cowboy Cave. The cave is a famous Utah archaeologic site where the late Jesse Jennings excavated through 11,000 years of material that had accumulated on the cave floor. Along with lots of animal dung, he and his team found Engelmann spruce leaves at the bottom of the dig! A reason for me to visit. The last picture (below) was made at the view area overlooking Hite at sunset.
