The edge of the cliff

At the end of the road is a wilderness type campground.  We spotted animal tracks that looked like they may have been that of a cougar.  We were very cautious as we made our way to the cliff's edge, which is just beyond the trees.








"I am holding the camera over the edge of the cliff, straight down, and yes those are the tops of trees."  Each kid was brought to this spot and allowed to look over the edge.  Of course a firm grip was maintained, and no horsing around was allowed.

I call this place the Swasey overlook, but it may be officially called something else.

















To the west is a magnificent view of the Tule valley.

To the east is Swasey peak!

To the south is the Sevier Lake!  This pic, however was not taken from Swasey overlook.  It is most likely a telephoto from the CCC camp (see pic below).

I can not adequately describe the majestic view from this location. The pics help, but not entirely.  After leaving the Swasey overlook, we made our way to some old ruins of the CCC occupation.  It was fun to explore the site, and try to imagine for what purposes little structures were used.

Finally, we made it back to our camp.  Jenna was pretty tired and thirsty, but it was nothing that a long swig of water couldn't cure!

The morning star is long gone, but Matty is still looking!

Too tired to look for Trilobites, but not too tired to go for a hike, play hide and seek, cook smores, and set up the telescope for star viewing, we settled in for the evening.  By the time the stars came out, the kids were begging to go to bed.  Ha ha.  







Saturday morning was all about collecting trilobites.  More pics to come!
