Monticello Box Canyon

It's about time to leave for WY so I went on a ride with Newell and

Linda when Cliff lead a group up through the Monticello Box Canyon.

Newell forded the creek barefoot.

Wow - up there by the pickup I think we are seeing the end of the trail.

At the end of the canyon.

Whitney has a pair of scales just like this.  Hers has the 1977 license on it from when Mom last had it licensed.

And of course here is a tv antenna on a ...........outhouse???  Go figure

Yup - go on in and enjoy yourself.

This tree is the hanging tree.  It is right in the middle of Chloride an old mining town.

We crossed over the water 116 times to get here at the end of the canyon.

This "road" is really a state highway.  Unbelievable.

There is absolutely NO amenities up here. They have solar for electricity and the propane truck brings that up.  This place is totally inaccessible for sometimes 3 months of the year during the monsoon season.  The water comes from the west and north and gathers into this canyon.  Do they really need to tell us where the main road is.






Whoa!  Driving up the highway.  What a totally awesome day.  I need to do this more often.
