After this mornings adventure I didn't have a lot of time at Capital Reef. I walked around Fruita which is the old town area. Then I went on the Hickman Bridge hike. Hot, around 85, while I was there. Some flowers and trees starting to come out. Spring, or is it summer?
This is actually a loop of Little Wild Horse Canyon and Bell Canyon. The road is paved to the trailhead even though this hike is in the middle of nowhere near Goblin SP. Little Wild Horse Canyon is a narrow slot canyon for about 1.5 miles and then it widens some and then turns into a open canyon. There are a few boulders to get over in the canyon but nothing difficult. Bell Canyon is also very nice and wider in general. Great loop! Holly and I wanted to go on this hike when we were staying at Goblin but it rained. No good if it rains!! The loop is 8 miles and worth doing the whole way. If time is restricted then and out and back in the Little Wild Horse may be good.
