Looks like a fine day in some interesting country. See any evidence of activity from the past?

Nice hiking country! Kinda dry and bare. Those plants and trees really work for a living!

I forgot to get a photo of it but there was a tepee ring with a four and a half foot yew growing in the exact center (where the fire would have been). So it took at the least 150 years plus for that tree to grow only four and a half feet. So I am thinking that even some of those dead trees were alive hundreds of years ago.

It looks a lot like some of the landscape you find in many places within the Colorado Plateau of eastern Utah and Western Colorado. I sure like to admire those dry desert flowers. It's unique how they stand on their own here and there and not all scattered along a field of all the same looking frowers. It's like each little specimen is layed out like a perfect planned landscape design growing in a wonderful rock garden that some master gardner put together.

Went back to the area and got the picture of the teepee ring with the tree in the spot where the fire pit would have been.
