Along Ramparts Trail

After our short drive from Cedar City, we arrived safely at Cedar Breaks National Monument.  Originally I had planned to walk the entirety of Ramparts Trail all the way to Ramparts Overlook, but, with all the hiking we did in Zion the day before, we only made it as far as Spectra Point.  This little pine was sitting just off the trail heading on the way out to Spectra Point.  Interestingly, if you look to the middle right of the frame there is still a patch of snow on the ground and this was taken in late June!  (map)
