Who knew there were antelope at elevation near Bryce? I’ve seen em’ at 8,000 feet outside of Westcliffe.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

We didn't have time for that. It sounds like it might give me a serious pucker factor. I don't know how close you are to the Dixie National Forest, but it looks like an awesome playground. Huge playground at that. I'm 'bout 90 minutes north of Torrey.........as the Eagle flies...... I remember 10 yrs or so ago..early winter on Hwy 12 Sumbody made a snow penis along the highway......damm thing was 5' tall Can't find the pic to save my azz........ Yea...lots of treehuggers around Boulder/Escalante....but its amazing country The Burr Trail east of Boulder heads over to the Henry's......... ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/niq1B1L.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/QHTHUkK.jpg)

I spent some time in Crusty But in 1980 working with some locals, Todd, Gus and Cortsy in various home or masonary projects. I loved it up there. When driving around I saw many riders on their clunkers or pre mountain bikes. I helped Gus pack out an elk in the fall off the backside of the ski mountain.

I really liked the Fish Lake National Forest along 72 when we drove through. It seemed totally uninhabited though. I commented to Laurie about how abruptly the land changes in Utah. One minute you'll be in lush green ponderosa forest and the next you'll be in the desert. Then sage and juniper hills, then in aspens. I loved what I saw. I could easily do a summer/fall retirement home in many areas I saw. Laurie needs to be closer to a decent population center though. Nothing huge, but say a town of 5000 or so. In surveying the map, it doesn't look like there's one between Moab and Richfield.

Elk hunting in that area is not an easy undertaking.
