| the hike |
The Millsite Canyon Trail is in a valley with rugged peaks on both
sides and some easy stream crossings.
As it goes north it opens up a bit to rolling hills, and finally
an overlook from which we can see Woodbury Trailhead, the JF Ranch,
and the road to Rogers Trough Trailhead. … or … We could do a shorter, exploratory bushwhack looking for a natural bridge (estimated 7 miles). The trip is limited to space in high-clearance vehicles. |
