We’re off on a Colorado Mountain Club (CMC) trip to the slickrock country around Escalante, Utah.
The trip began with a three-night stay at the James M. Robb Colorado River State Park in Fruita where we dewinterized the trailer and did a few necessary repairs. From there, we headed 90 miles west to Green River, Utah, where we spent the night at our favorite site in Green River State Park.
Of course, we headed to Ray’s for burgers and brews that evening.
From there, it was off to Escalante on a route that took us over the mountains…
…and into canyon country.
Our campsite for five nights is in the new, full-hookup loop at Escalante Petrified Forest State Park. We have a nice pull-through site across from Wide Hollow Reservoir.
As it was in Arizona, the winds blew. Instead of enduring the night bunked out in a tent, here we remained snug and warm inside our trailer. Tomorrow we will head out for the first of three days of hiking with the CMC through Utah’s slickrock country.
