Trail Canyon

We hiked into Trail Canyon in the Dark canyon wilderness the last two days to lay out a project that we will be doing in June with Wilderness Volunteers. I had not been down Trail Canyon yet into the wilderness. The trail down is an old stock trail that has been blasted out of the slickrock and winds around ledges and drop offs. I don't think I would take a horse down it right now. Just getting to our trailheads can be an adventure this time of year. We ended up sawing out a huge Pondersoa that had fallen into the road and busting through a few snowdrifts. Once you get down into the canyon it feels like you are really out there, which is the best place to be.

I think the elk must use Trail Canyon to access Dark Canyon to winter there as there was sign of elk everywhere.
