Soldier Creek

This weekend I stayed relatively close to home looking for some rock art I’d read about. I drove along Soldier Creek on the way to Nine Mile Canyon looking for any likely spots to find the rock art but I never found it. I hiked around a little bit close to the road. I saw a small cave, perhaps a couple hundred feet above the road, and I now regret not hiking up to it. I also drove to and hiked a bit around Grassy Trail Creek, which Dugout Creek feeds into. There’s not much of a story to tell but I took a few photos I thought were worth sharing.
