After getting snubbed earlier this year, ((http://uutah.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=210400, I finally got the motovation go get back up there. Hardy invited me to go up with him, but he had to leave earlier than I could go, so I went up a few hours after he did.
The trail was great, with views overlooking some herds of buffalo. The trail we missed earlier that was covered with snow took me down the west side of the ridge, then switchbacked up to the peak.
I found the geocache with no problem, then it started to rain and I high-tailed it down.
When I was nearly at the trailhead, a rock didn't quite look just right. It was a big bull just a few yards from the trail.
I hollered and threw a rock, but the bull just shook his head, so I backtracked up the mountain side to where I could see if there were any more on these shaggy beasts, and to plan my escape.
After bushwacking around the old bull, and looking out for anymore, I made it back to the trailhead and to my car. I was wet, and excited to tell my story of the "Gaurdian of the Trail"
