Sheep Creek Geological Loop Road

Name:	Sheep Creek Geological Loop Road with a couple of detours.
Details:	Second day of Dinotrax 2003 on the road with one hand. This time I coordinated with the group who did the reknown boat ride to meet with them at their disembark point, and rode (read climbed) the road back to the trailhead with Gary. Prior to that, I visited the historic fire lookout tower at Ute Mountain, accessible by smooth dirt road, and rode the paved road that descends Sheep Creek through various geological formations. All of their names are nicely labeled. This area feels like southern Utah, due to the sandstone formations. Click on the small camera thumbnail to see the photos from the area. Area between the two blue arrows is the Geological Loop, almost each photo contains label with the rock name.

Trip Length:

29.12 miles
