44.5
Today's hike had a little bit of everything - uphill, downhill, wind, sun, hot, cool, rocks, snow, ice, gobbling turkeys, creek crossing with boulder jump, signs of ancient human presence, etc.

| A Ute might have made a cradleboard from this tree long ago. |
 |
| Waaay up on the cliff, a Rock Squirrel watching us.... |
 |
| Love to think about the disaster(s) that led to this terrain today |
 |
| passing well under the dam remnants |
 |
| Willow Pinecone Midge Gall - a little 'worm' inside that will become a midge! |
 |
| Mule deer did not want to be seen |
 |
| on the trail up to the cave |
 |
| a few icy spots |
 |
| a Christmas Tree/memorial |
 |
| presumably his money clip |
 |
| gotta visit the gnome! |
 |
| dam from the other side |
 |
| this almost has to be natural given its position way up a cliff face but looks like a treasure box to me! |
 |
| this might be a Ute burial tree |
 |
| so might this one. |
