We were just beyond the mouth of Saddle Horse Canyon and it was past 2p. That doesn't sound very late, but it had taken us two hours to walk there and two hours to drive there, so we were looking at being back in Price by 6p (at the earliest), which is well after dark at this time of year. On EDO's Avenza map, it showed a nearby foot trail running straight up the canyon wall to the rim, which could possibly turn our return slog into a short loop.
I was somewhat doubtful that the trail existed, and even more doubtful that we could find it in the snow. But, there it was: An old horse trail that zig-zagged up the slickrock and put us in position to loop back to the Chev by 3:45p. We were in town by 5:30p.
