Location

Just off the Kokopelli Trail, about a mile from the Dewey Bridge Campground.

Participants

Expedition

From base camp at Mrs.5000's parents' home in western Colorado, we followed I-70 out into the wastes ("Next Services 60 Miles") and then turned south onto lonely Utah route 128. At the historic site of Dewey Bridge, now a ruin after a recent fire, we parked and followed a rough side track up the canyon. About a mile's walk brought us right to the hashpoint. A little extra hiking brought us to some fabulous views of the Colorado River canyon. The day was warm and bright, and lots of sunshine was very welcome to the traveling Oregonians.
