A Hike into Deep Canyon
Left the house about 9 AM the weather was overcast, windy and cool. The temperature was about 37 deg. F with a wind of 10 mph. Once inside the canyon the wind was barely noticeable. Deep Canyon is in the Wellsville Mountain Wilderness just a couple of miles above the town of Mendon, Utah. There was some snow and ice in spots along the trail, on my way down I put Yaktracks on my Teva sandals to keep from slipping around.
Inside the canyon was quiet and peaceful the only sound was my feet crunching in the snow. As usual it was nice to get into the mountains and enjoy the solitude which I am liking more and more as I get older. The hike was a little over 4 miles round trip and an elevation gain of about 1700 feet. It took just over 2 hours; should have went further up and stayed longer. Old age is showing in my walk and flexibility so it's good to keep getting out and pushing the comfort zones!
