I have been out a lot but haven't posted lately, so here are some photos from the Alcove Spring trail in the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park. It was a beautiful day with temperatures in the upper 50's and sunny. Still some snow on the shady sides, but it is melting daily.
Hike was about 13 miles out and back with a 1300 ft elevation change from the trail head to the valley below.
At the end are the rock towers named Zeus and Moses, I couldn't tell which was which.
Jeep Safari in 3 weeks so tourist season will running full tilt.
