To get to the trailhead we drove the famous Hogback section of Route 12 in Utah.
Some people will avoid this section of road due to the steep drops on both sides of the road. Of course, we did it a total of 3 times.

A rose hip, also called a rose haw or rose hep, is the accessory fruit of various species of the rose plant.
Rose hips are known for being high in vitamin C and antioxidants. They are edible, with a taste described as being similar to a mix of plums, tart apples, and rose petals, and are used in teas and herbal medicine.
This was our lunch spot
The flow rate from this spring was impressive.

HAPPY TRAILS, STEVE
