Beautiful dirt
by John PeelGood to see some dirt again. Even if that dirt is wet, which means that we'll call it mud for a while.
It's been a long winter, but the snow is melting and the trails are clearing.
Now we begin the step-ladder climb to higher altitudes, beginning on lowland trails and working our way up to the big peaks.
A trip last weekend to the Utah desert, which included a hike through a snowstorm, revealed that some trails are ready to roll. Best to check with the BLM or national parks offices before you go to a specific location. Here's a quick list of Southeastern Utah offices. Visit http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/info/directory.html for more:
Moab Field Office, (435) 259-2100.
Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Kanab, (435) 644-4300.
Monticello Field Office, (435) 587-1500.
