Camelback Wilderness Study Area

This one is a bit of a mystery. This is why I need to write my blog right after each hike! I mean I know that Kelli and I did not make it to the trailhead. I’m pretty sure we did a lot of driving in the desert, where all the roads started looking the same, and at some point we decided to just get out and just start hiking on one of the dirt roads. There were a bunch of 4-wheelers out there. It was a bunch of BLM land. And with all my googling I cannot for the life of me find out what hike we had intended to do. 

My guess is this Roubideaux Canyon hike, but apparently you get to it through Delta county, and for a fact I remember we started off west of town on spring creek road and didn’t have to drive too far before we got there. 

Descriptive article about the hike but I can’t seem to find trailhead directions 

Interesting article about the area switching from wilderness study area status to BLM status 

But then I also am really thinking that it might have been the Montrose part of the Tabeguache trail, or that that was at least what we were aiming for. 

I don’t recall the actual hike being overly exciting. Maybe I was worried I just didn’t know where we were. I remember arguing with Kelli about the town we could see--if it was Montrose or Olathe. Pretty sure we decided it was Olathe. I remember not being able to wrap my head around that lol. Nice views of the Black Canyon. Lots of cacti in bloom! I remember finding it amazing that more explorable wilderness was again, just 15 minutes away from Montrose! Kelli and I talked about maybe camping there at some point, but that never happened.

Canyonlands National Park in Utah is a showcase of geology. In each of the park’s districts, visitors can see the remarkable effects of time and erosion on a landscape of sedimentary rock. For millions of years, rock was broken down and carried here by wind and water, creating deposits that eventually became distinct rock layers. Many of the rock’s layers were deposited near sea level, but after a long period of uplift, the average elevation is now over 5,000 feet above sea level. As this area gradually rose, rivers that once deposited sediment on the lowlands began to remove it from the emerging plateau. The Green and Colorado rivers carved into the geologic layer cake, exposing buried sediments and creating the canyons and rock spires of Canyonlands that amaze us now.

This display of incredible geologic formations really rocked our feeds this year.  #Top10of2020
