Hello and some trip reports Jan 22

[Daymoth]

So Chapter 2 is Desolation Canyon and revisiting Sidewinder

We where waiting for the snow storm to move across Utah before we headed over there so we had no plans for the day. Decided to check out Desolation, for some weird reason we had never even considered it before even if its a popular and easy one to access and to do. And oh boy is it incredible.

We where not prepared for the explosion of cotton candy rocks and when we got to the top it was insane. The weather was also perfect after the storms giving us some crazy visibility, insane light and snowy telescope peaking over the clouds. I still cant believe we never did this one before.

Pinks, yellows and greens

We then went to Sidewinder, last time we didnt have time to check slots 1 and 3 and its such a fun place. Saw a dead desert tarantula again, I never see them alive
We were surprised with the amount of people in DV though. Guess it was NYE and a weekend after all.



Finally started driving east. Checked out Ashford mill in a pretty awesome light.


The east part of jubilee pass looks pretty epic, weve never seen further than kaleidoscope and now we want to check that area more next time. Suggestions welcome!
