Our last CMC hike in Grand Staircase-Escalanate National Monument was down the upper end of the Boulder Mail Trail.
The trailhead lies just around the corner from the Boulder Airport and UFO Landing Site.
Fortunately, no 747s were landing on the runway when we passed by.
Our hike began with a bit over a mile of nice flat terrain…
…before dipping into the canyons below.
Dianne’s body was hurting, so while the rest of the group descended onward…
…we decided we would stay up topside and spend the morning taking photographs of the Zion-like countryside.
Then it was time to head back to our trailer for a brew and dinner.
