We stopped on US 89 in southern Utah to hike the Paria Rimrocks Toadstool Trail. This is a short 1.6 mile rt with only 100 ft in elevation gain to an area of unusual rock formations called Toadstools. Beautiful!
The trailhead is right off the hwy and begins in a wash.
The canyon walls and rimrocks are very colorful.
We saw many wildflowers in bloom in this desert landscape
There is a short scramble up to the area with toadstools
The first area has red toadstools
and some red and white toadstools
The "trail" turns towards the west
to an area with more white rocks and
white toadstools
This area seems like a scene from a Sci-fi movie
We went up the rocks to check out the views
Pano looking south:
We returned via some of the other formations
Pano on the hike back:
