Fossil Canyon Loop 2/16/2026
Our group before the hike.
Started in new canyon. John is leading.
That has some new challenges.
And more fun.
And another one.
Made it to Yote BM.
We want to get up on that ridge.
There were two peregrine falcons trying to disturb one big owl. Nice show.
Starting our climb up.
Someone ate this cactus.
Almost up.
Does this represents something?
The easy part.
Down there is the Fossil Canyon that we are going into.
Some fun parts.
Lunch is over, let’s go.
This is a nice side canyon.
With lots of different rocks.
Almost down.
In Fossil Canyon. There are fossils but you have to look for them.

Sides of the canyon change with every turn.
The weather forecast was for big storm to come. For now, just the wind (warm) is starting.
It is sunny here!
