2019 HITR Trail and Other Southern Environs

[Greg_B]

The last of the group is back from our recent trip so here goes.

We headed to Utah from BC to find a suitable spot to set up a Harrison wet weather tarp and found it at the base of one steep climb. Stayed an extra night on the trail to extend the experience some more.

Blue skys on day one when we started

And still nice at the end of the day where we made camp, though windy and cool

Day two was more unsettled as we made our way to the end of the trail. In the last photo at the end of HITR Trail you can just make out the hole in the rock at the end of HITR "Road" to the north; Which we had been at a couple days before.

The bonus of having been really unsettled and rain was the amount of flowers in the different areas we visited.
