Laccolith Tour | The Henry Mountains Revisited
This past Labor Day Weekend Amanda had to unfortunately work on Sunday and Monday, so I was on my own. I figured that I would head back to The Henry Mountains to complete some of the trails that were blocked by snow on our last trip, plus do a little hiking to the top of Mount Ellen. You can find the previous trip report here.
After some breakfast on Sunday morning I made my way to Hanksville, where I topped off of my gas tank and headed south towards The Henry Mountains.


I did a little exploring on some side roads before actually reaching the mountains.

…and then up to Wickiup Pass at 9,200 feet.
