You're right—it's both fascinating and beautiful.<br /><br />Our planned summer adventures so far include a backpack trip to Idaho and another visit to Goblin Valley. I'm looking forward to both the traveling and the writing!<br /><br />Thanks again for your comments and compliments!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-65640968574022879002013-05-01T16:09:08.344-07:002013-05-01T16:09:08.344-07:00Hi Rita,
Another enticing hiking trail! The skies...Hi Rita,<br /><br />Another enticing hiking trail! The skies up there in Utah are dazzling, and it looks like you had an especially beautiful day for viewing 360-degree vistas. <br /><br />I love your description of the "jumble of boulders scattered like building blocks kicked by a petulant child." It's always fascinated me to understand the geologic forces that create these amazing places we enjoy on our hikes and travels.<br /><br />Sounds like you and Tim are busy filling up your summer travel itinerary - I can't wait to read about your adventures!Vickie Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04935525489196514927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-54359743948752699822013-05-01T13:55:53.115-07:002013-05-01T13:55:53.115-07:00Thanks for your kind comments, John.
The Bald Mou...Thanks for your kind comments, John.<br /><br />The Bald Mountain Summit hike is thrilling (with a GREAT payoff at the top) and it's one of our favorites. I've hiked the trail 3 times, and Tim has hiked it twice. <br /><br />The trailhead is about 2 and a half hours from our house. We would love to go back and hike that trail again this summer but our warm-weather hiking season is rapidly filling with other places, other trails!One Day in Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908834658716123640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975306347330050350.post-39183465501529011682013-05-01T08:00:47.558-07:002013-05-01T08:00:47.558-07:00Rita, that view from the 11,943 ft.

What a thrilling experience that hike must have been!<br /><br />Have you and Tim trekked that mountaintop more than once? It surely looks like a place that is deserving of many visits!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your personal experience at this location, and for the website link for additional information. Terrific report!<br /><br />John<br />1HappyHikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242409292439585691noreply@blogger.com
