From here, the canyon opens up a bit and starts to look like a backdrop from a John Wayne movie.

Toward the northwestern end of the canyon, we made one final stop before loosing the sun, the Fox Homestead at the mouth of Yellow Rock Canyon.

While most of the people who came through this canyon did so during the 1840's-1860's (or much earlier), structures like this garage were actually built in the early 1900's as homesteaders were encouraged to settle what was left of the west.

Last but not least, a final T-maker noting our departure from High Rock Canyon as the sun sets.

Now for the long drive home in the dark.

Again, this was a last minute trip and so we did skip a lot but our main goal was to get out into High Rock Canyon and enjoy it's beauty. I hope you enjoyed the few pics we were able to take along the way.

Always enjoy reading the history that goes with the pictures from the trips you and Cindy take. It’s something my wife and I have always enjoyed. Keep them coming

What fun. That's what I'm mainly setting my JL up for to get out and see the part of the country that I can't take the truck to.

Simply awesome guys. As much as I enjoy the summers, fall really is perfect wheeling weather.
