Fascinating, thanks!

Yes, the rock has fine parallel layers. When the surface is rounded, it shows as lovely concentric circles. Climbing up the canyon is a whole lot more fun than following the yellow brick road.

Thanks for sharing. There are so many favorites from your trips.
Can't decide between the  indigenous rock art, geologic rock art ,or that fantastic scenery.

 

I guess it's all the above.

We've missed so much on our trips to Johnson Canyon! Reasons to back and thanks for your report.

A fair (???) division of labor! "I've just finished writing this. I'll call the Lady inside to help edit. She's outside shoveling snow."

 

We love Johnson Canyon. Thanks for the trip report!

 

A fair division of labor? Fair does not matter at all. There is no way to slow her down. I have to think of creative ideas to try to entice her to take a break and come inside. Ideas such as, "Want to help edit the blog?"

Looks amazing, thanks!

Something to find around every corner. Thanks for the kind comment!

“It had to be old because it was made in the USA.”

Sad, but mostly true…

 

Thanks for letting us tag along, it’s been 14 years since I’ve been in Johnson Canyon.  I’m glad the old Airflow is still in place.

 

Thank you Mr. Sage! It's time for you to return.

thx monte !

hey, someone has to shovel the snow !

You are welcome and you're sounding a lot like Julie about shoveling.

Another great report.  A few similarities to our last trip there, when we camped near the airflow one night, and out at the mouth where you camped another night.  We hiked up the canyon and ended up on the higher route and ran out of time before making it to the ranch as well.  We didn't ever spot the lower route though.  Darn short winter days anyway. Thanks for the write up and the pics!

 

Thanks Occidental! Yes, darn short days but we will not hibernate.

 

Excellent report, as usual.  DV offers so many opportunities to explore, and my list keeps getting longer!

Thanks Lighthawk!
