Coal Canyon

Occasionally, I come across a trail that I have never heard of that turns out to be a lot of fun. Coal Canyon just east of Green River, Utah is such a trail. Although there are some minor obstacles along the way, it is the changing landscape that makes it worthwhile. The first segment takes you through lush, verdant farmland that included a sizable field of hemp plants and a group of pronghorns...

FYI - hemp contains 0.3% or less of THC whereas marijuana contains more than 0.3% THC

Then you work you way through some very impressive canyons...

The last segment of the trail is a barren area that reminded me of the Badlands in South Dakota. During this half day drive, I did not see another vehicle the entire time. Great way to social distance during the pandemic.
