Nice. Can I assume that the 2nd one requires a backcountry permit?

I finally went out and camped in the Southwest Desert of Zion. Site 2 definitely has some good views

Winter trip in the Books.

I had some great views in Zion last night again

Early Winter and Spring Winter camping is best on slickrock or snow.

Friday night under the moon. (apparently with Thing T. Thing for company)

Same temps and same frozen water bottles, but no snow, real early this past winter.

Lee Metcalf Wilderness a bit over a week ago. Got a couple trip reports I need to catch up on.

I had to look Thing T. Thing up. Then I cracked up. I just remember it as the Thing, but Thing T. Thing is indeed its full name.

Orion is back, along with Sirius and two dogs.
No tripod, so took advantage of all those rocks.

A great spot. When it's not windy! Jealous as our (formerly) annual fall desert trip looks unlikely due to the border being closed to us until Nov 8.

Sorry, Steve, I was hoping they were opening the border soon, so you could go this year.

Actually a local stopped by Saturday to tell us about a couple that went over the rim in a tent, when the wind suddenly picked up at night. She just wanted to warn us….. more stuff happened on that rim. She was happy to see we had the tent staked and tied down well and wished us a good nights sleep…... Forecast was wind-still, but cold. We just relaxed Friday afternoon and all of Saturday, fabulous views! Then at 5 am Sunday morning the wind did pick up, what the heck…..! The wind kept building and let’s say it was “interesting“ Sunday morning packing up the tent on the rim! Then yesterday it was super windy on Cedar Mesa, but we should be good for 6-7 days now.

Fabulous! Any water nearby???

 

[The Trout Whisperer]

Just a few from this summer…new BA tent in Yellowstone backcountry and th 20+ year old Sierra Designs in Colorado.

Not far away were a couple better than this that the cows couldn't easily get to. As is often the case in Nov-Jan the problem is not if there is water in the potholes, more a problem of if it is not frozen solid.
