A Winter's Hike

This photo is from a trip I took to the San Rafael Swell with my friend Bill for some winter hiking, exploring, and photography. Leaving the Swell, we returned over the Huntington Canyon scenic byway (from Huntington to Fairview, Utah), where we encountered beautiful snow-capped peaks and rivers.
Situated amid mountainous terrain and pine forests, Utah's Huntington-Eccles Canyon Scenic Byway, also known as the Energy Loop, runs through Utah's beautiful backyard. All along this gorgeous byway, cars are stopped at the sides of the roads, but the drivers are nowhere to be seen unless you check the river. Anglers come from all around to fish for the trout that swim in the waters of Huntington Creek. Fly fishers have their pick of cutthroat, brown, and rainbow trout when fishing the streams and rivers on the byway. Fishing in the six reservoirs along the byway is a common recreational activity.
Hiking and biking are activities worth trying along the Energy Loop. The rocks and cliffs of Huntington Canyon are an enticing invitation to explorers ready to hike along such diverse terrain. Tie Fork Canyon offers a hike among trees and wildflowers of every kind. Joe's Valley is a stop that offers options for anglers and hikers.
