#TrailTuesday The Box Trail leads from the Paria River up onto the divide between the Paria and Hackberry Creek. It was constructed by ranchers to move cattle from the river onto the plateau. It's easy enough for a human to negotiate, but seems like it'd be scary for a cow.😳 #hiking #utah

This sure looked like a black bear front paw to me, but a side canyon along lower Wahweap Creek in southern Utah seems like a really unlikely location for a bear. Any large mammal or track experts out there? 🌿
