2015 in review: Part 9 – Oct.

Our October begins in a camp near Beaver, Utah.

P1070675The Best Little Trailer in a boondock beside the Beaver River

From this site the Perfect Tow Vehicle carries us on short excursions.

Little Cottonwood Campground is only a few miles up the road.  The closed campground provides a pleasant place for walks with Bridget and Reggie.

The town of Beaver is handy for groceries, gas, propane, and laundry facilities.

One day we take a drive out to Minersville Reservoir, aka Minersville Lake.

The crew and I check out Beaver County’s campground.

I like the rural setting and decide to move our camp here.

A few people fish from boats.  Water in the reservoir is low.  The many pelicans don’t seem to mind!

This is a cozy camp for me and the crew.

P1070838Our next camp is at Baker Dam Recreation Area north of St. George!

We might have camped at nearby Pine Valley Recreation Area if it weren’t at a high elevation — too high for camping at this time of year, but a pretty place for a day trip!

P1070959Campgrounds at Pine Valley are closed in October

We also take a drive to see Gunlock State Park. 

Not many people here during this time of year.

On the 15th the crew and I visit spectacular Snow Canyon!

The rock formations are massive!  In the photo below, people are mere specks in contrast.

P1070993Dogs are not allowed on trails at Snow Canyon.  That’s okay.  I enjoy watching people have fun on the dunes and on the rocks.  As for the crew, they don’t know that they’re missing anything!

P1080023On the 23rd we travel out of Utah.

Interstate 15 takes us through the visually stunning Virgin River Gorge in the northwest corner of Arizona.

We land at Cedar Pocket Campground!

P1080199The Virgin River can be seen below our campsite at Cedar Pocket.

Bridget and Reggie have a great time walking (or riding) around the campground, meeting people and their dogs.  We follow a trail from the campground to an interpretive display.

P1080221Reggie shows the height of the Joshua trees in this area.

P1080228As far as campgrounds go, Cedar Pocket is one of the most scenic!

The crew and I camp here into November.
