Horse Pasture Canyon

Horse Pasture Canyon in the Dark Canyon Wilderness. I spent today hiking down into Horse Pasture Canyon with the Trail Crew, clearing out all the trees that had fallen into the trail during the winter. Horse Pasture Canyon is a realtively small side canyon to Dark Canyon, it is full af Anasazi Ruins and is always nice and green due to the subsurface water flow in the canyon . Historically it was used as a horse pasture by the loacl cattlemen and it still serves that purpose.

Looks like somewhere you and I would have dreamed about discovering back in the day. You seem to be soaking it in. I am very happy for you!!

Funny you said that because that is exactly how I think of that canyon. It is a real transistion between the desert and mountains slickrock and pines, the best of both worlds,plenty of grass and water, bear, elk and turkey and ruins from the ancient ones. You need to come down and we will take the ponies down.
