Cream Cellar Road Hike
This is a wonderful hike from our house. Going towards our neighbor's home on our road, you will find a few gravel washes going north. Go up any of them moving northwest of the red rock ledges. When you get high enough to see the river west of you, you will find an old road used in the late 1800's, early 1900's. This route took milk from Boulder to Escalante. This is a great historical hike, eventually it will lead back to Hwy 12.
