Story

For our Scout camp out to Goblin Valley, we camped along Temple Mountain Road. There were quite a few RVs and other people camping, so most of the spots were filled. We found the camp site very nice with a beautiful sunset and sunrise against the towering cliffs.

We didn't realize it when we were there, but apparently the Temple Mountain Pictographs are just up the rode from where we camped. Also, farther down the road a ways is an abandoned stone cabin and a closed uranium mine.
