Mount Ellen 11,522'
South of Hanksville, Southern Utah
Mount Ellen is the highest point on the Henry
Mountains, which are located south of Hanksville Utah.
It is also the highest point in Garfield County.
The trail starts in Bull Creek Pass, and travels north over
lichen and moss covered shards of granite. The trail is two
miles to the actual summit 11,522, but we went another mile
to Mount Ellen Peak, which is 16 feet lower but offers much
more dramatic views.
It was swarming with grasshoppers. Every step we took set
off a chain reaction of jumping grasshoppers.
They jumped in whatever direction they were facing, One jumped
into my closed hand. I started swinging my thin walking stick
and you'll be glad to know that I was successful swatting
dozens of them into next week.
