GROUP HIKE! -- One Week In The San Rafael Swell
#25
A beautiful wash of colors. 
   

Contrasted with the lovely starkness of this whitewashed boulder field. 
   
   

It was obvious from the soil that there had been quite a bit of moisture earlier in the year. The top layer been washed over, leaving a fascinating micro-replica of the larger formation. There were tiny “goblins” and pinnacles formed from the soil and pebbles.
   

I loved this pinto-colored sandstone. It was fairly common in the dry river bottom. I brought home a couple of specimens, including one to decorate Jet’s grave.
   
   

There was a large culvert we had to pass through on our way in and out. The goats were a little suspicious.
   

And here we are on "The Wedge" overlooking the "Little Grand Canyon". What a view!
