Southern Utah trails, Flat Iron Mesa, Buffalo Pass
I
was invited to join the Early CJ-5 group on their Southern Utah trails
trip. The full group will travel Monday thru Thursday. Friday is
an extra day for those who wish to add another trail - I'm game for
Friday and Flat Iron Mesa (clockwise) will be enjoyed. This would be a
first visit for me. After Flat Iron Mesa I split from the remaining
group to head home via Buffalo Pass northeast of Steamboat Springs.
That pass has been on my ToDo list for a bit.

Overview of the complete trip -
(1) Fort Collins to (2) Southern Utah. Near La Sal Junction UT is the
(3) Flat Iron Mesa trail. On the way back I deviate a bit to travel (4)
Buffalo Pass northeast of Steamboat Springs on the way to Fort Collins.
