We are camped at the beginning of the Nebo Loop Scenic Byway. This forest service road climbs 9000 feet into the Wasatch Mountains and provides superb views of 12000 foot Mt Nebo. Farther along we stop for a short hike to Devils kitchen, which is billed as a mini Bryce Canyon. The Hoodoos do indeed look like Bryce, but the area is exceedingly tiny. Just near the summit of our route, we decide to stop and do a short hike for exercise into the adjoining Nebo Wilderness Area. It is an uneventful hour into a Quaking Aspen forest. Our lone excitement is a distant view of a beautiful Western Tanager. It is a very long downhill ride back to the Utah valley where we catch the highway north. Past Salt Lake City we stop for the night in a private RV Park in Brigham City, UT.
