08Jun2020 MON, i went for a hike to the top of the Steamboat Rock (my R/T hike Stats: ~3.3 mi Moving Time: ~1.5 hr). The scrambling up/down the (~150 ft??) scree section was v dicey (for me) .. and i did it extra s-l-o-w-l-y .. and at times on all fours + my butt .. just be extra cautious .. Anyway, its all very worthwhile for the stunning views at the top of Steamboat Rock: the desert wildflowers, sagebrush, .. And going along the rim: sweeping views of the channeled scab lands. Also, i got to meet/see my first real-life marmot! Its so beautiful!!
Btw, no “crowd” on the trail .. encountered, probably a total of ~10 people during my ~2 hrs there .. so everyone who wants or need “Social Distancing” got lots of it .. :)
Take Care and Be Safe Everyone! Cheers!
