Otter Bench

Looking downstream

I had never hiked Otter Bend, an eight mile loop on BLM land just outside Crooked River Ranch.  A Saturday with nothing planned gave us the opportunity.  It is only 45 minutes from home, it was sunny, and virtually nobody was there, all of which made for a great time.  This is basically a hike along a bench above the same gorge that I have marveled at from the Ogden Scenic Overlook for years so it was a treat.  Good to see something new in my own backyard.
