This is a beautiful hike with twists and turns, ups and downs, and different scenery around every bend. We hiked in October when the temps. were lower and were still hot with almost everyone running out of water towards the end. Bring lots of water! Bring lunch or snacks! Definitely take the time to do this hike if you're in the area, it's stunning.

Not sure if I want the secret to get out but this place is fantastic. Easy walk, ski, or snowmachine in to this great location in the Abajo mountains. The place is fully equipped, the water bottle holder in the loft sleeping area were a nice touch. We will be back!

Great place to visit to get away from the crowds! Unlike visiting Mesa Verde NP. The trails are primitive, but for me, that makes it more fun. It's like finding the ruins for the first time. Close by are Natural Bridges NM and Canyonlands NP which are great places to visit for sight seeing or hiking. There is much to see and explore in this part of Utah!
