This is a few miles north/west of the Hole in the Rock, right next to the road.

This is the same view as the previous photo, but zoomed in so you can see the color of the rock cliffs in the distance.

I came around a corner and was suprised (!) to see these. The road was in pretty good shape, but they were loosening and smoothing the sandy sections in the draws. I guess they're getting ready for the upcoming heavy visitor season.

Instead of taking Hole in the Rock Road all the way back, I headed west up to Collet Top and Smokey Mtn Road.

The sign says it's 24 miles to Collet Top to the left, and to the right is Death Ridge. Maybe I'll investigate the right fork on my next trip to Escalante.
