Jacob's Chair from White Canyon, Fry Canyon UT, April 22, 2011
Gravel Crossing to Jacob's Chair butte
There are only a couple of places to cross White Canyon along here. Behind me in this picture, where I'm camped, is the one known as Gravel Crossing and is the trailhead for the popular OHV trail that encircles Jacob's Chair. Jacob's Chair was named after one of the first settlers in this area. He was killed in a flash flood in 1940 while crossing White Canyon on horseback.
Overcast
It's starting to look like rain. Think I'll delay any more hikes in the canyon until the skies clear.
