San Rafael Canyon, Utah
Oct. 29, 1933.
This morning & climbed the butte
at the head of Sinbad. The entire
southwest corner of Utah is here
visible. Henry Mts. & Sa Salles rise
on the east to southeast. Navajo Mt.
is reported to be visible from the
southern shoulder of the butte,
where I could not go. The view
is magnificent.
Coming down from the head of
Sinbad via Reel Wilson valley, the
Horseshoe & down Cain Circle to
Little King Canyon, we came through
junipers, pinons, shypeothamnus, and
grofna grass all the way. Some
Purshia tridentata and Apache Plum
was seen. Also some broad leaf
mountain malroqany. The course
is down hill into a canyon with
sides perhaps 700 ft. deep and
very picturesque.
The entire area has been
over grazed. Wherever sage brush once
grift, only its dead stufes remain.
Eight wild horses were seen.
Horse tracks are everywhere as
well as cattle & sheep tracks.
The entire area is stock winter
