Mary and I took the day to do the Hackberry Canyon/Yellow Rock double.
Left my "dry" shoes at the mouth of Hackberry and hiked up in my "wet" shoes. The mix of sandstone and bright green trees was great.
Definitely had to hike in the creek, but it was never more than ankle deep.
Hiked a ways past this nice tower.
We quickly found the small use trail from the mouth of Hackberry to the Yellow Rock trail which shortly climbs a very steep and somewhat loose section.
Once up the scramble, the trail winds along a nice ridge with plenty of cairns to guide the hiker.
A bit more hiking and Yellow Rock came in to view.
Castle Rock just to the north. Looks like a great hike too.
We didn't want to leave! Ambling about on the layered sandstone was nothing short of magical.
