The Spur is series of sandstone fingers that loom to the west of the Green River. This rugged land has magnificent views of the LaSal Mountains and red sandstone formations.

We checked out the deep canyons
and tortured sandstone landscape,

| Steve's mini Delicate Arch |

| Desert Sea Lion |
the unusual formations,
and some jasper chippings that may have remained from an attempt to make arrowheads or other tools.
A few wildflowers bloomed, even in early October. A purple aster sported a fine-looking caterpillar.
We were fortunate to have perfect fall weather for the hike and the scenery.
What a beautiful landscape. The last shot especially is amazing. I can't believe how much that one rock formation looks like a sea lion!
ReplyDeleteThe landscape is spectacular. I would definitely enjoy exploring this part of your beautiful state. But until I can do it in person, I'm definitely enjoying your photos.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous desert landscape with a happy water soaked Daisy. The mini arch is adorable. Great hike.
ReplyDeleteYou all look so small in that vast landscape. Daisy can find water ANYWHERE!
ReplyDeletethat is beautiful, but very rugged country. Loved your pictures today.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Daisy take advantage of the tiny water hole!
ReplyDeleteThe Spur looks like a wonderful place to hike. Someone was very observant to notice the caterpillar. :) Sure do like that background canyon scenery in the last image.
