Just took the kids up to West Clear Creek because access to Fossil Springs is closed off.
The no-seeums or fleas or whatever little bugs are out in full force. They are up on the rim. I did not have a problem down inside the canyon but top-side, they were awful!! Water is still very chilly and running clear.
Forest service road 144 is clear and easy to use. _________________ All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them...Walt Disney |

I got bitten up horribly in Utah last week by "no see ums" At least I didn't see um. At first I thought they were mosquito bites but they were all along my back just along the line where my tank top was. Itchy as heck too. _________________ ~~~Trish~~~

We road walked about half way back to the car that same day, camped off the road and completed the walk the next morning for a total walk time of ~13 hours. We hiked West Clear Creek back to Bull Pen ranch in 2.5 days with a total walk time of 22 hours. There are some incredibly pretty sections of canyon on this hike, when it's good it's one of the best around. |
