Escalante

We hadn't been able to get away in March with Russ's operation. So the end of April we tried to drive the Hell's Backbone Road between Boulder and Escalante. It had been a mild winter, and hot spring so I figured the road would be open. It had been. Until it snowed the day we drove down. Then the 9000 ft high at the top road got more snow than I wanted to try driving through. So we did some other things and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The drive over Boulder Mt and a short hike to Singletree falls. The visit to the Anasazi Museum, Scenic and beautiful hwy 12, a night in Escalante and the drive around town to see all the old homes from the first turn of the century. The drive down Hole in the Rock to Devil's Garden and then down the Burr Trail and up the Notom Road. It is such a wonderful part of the state and I was very happy to be able to go.
