Offroader5 is on a distinguished road
Went up there on Saturday morning. Wow, can't believe I've never been that far up the trail till now. From what I saw, it's an amazing view from up top. Saturday morning near Roosevelt saw some interesting weather. Lots of clouds, lots of thunder/lightning, and pouring down rain.

It was raining very hard as I ascended the trail towards the falls and all the way to the top of Aztec. By the time I reached the top, it had slowed to a drizzle, but the entire top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds. There were only a couple times when the clouds cleared enough to see the view below, the rest of the time it was only a couple hundred yards of visibility. I passed on trying to get up to the ruins due to the wet rocks. Will have to go back and check them out.

Saw some deer up past the falls, and on the way back down, noticed carpets of red raspberry bushes all over below the falls. Almost back to Roosevelt, in some of the same spots I had seen them before, there was a small herd of Bighorn grazing.

Going to have to make future trips back to check out a couple of side trails and areas I'd like to investigate.

I did get some pictures, but with all the rain...didn't get much on the way up top. Once I pull them from the camera and put them through my normal post-process workflow, I'll upload and share.
