We have been here before. We have always enjoyed it so much that we even repeated the visit a week later. Each occasion involved hiking in different parts of the region. We think the secret of visiting and hiking in these places is approaching it with an open mind (and always good grips on the boots). The approach, combined with a bit of daring, trying something different and following hunches allows a person to discover aspects not expected.
Early stages as Jen moves ahead.
Our kind of amusement park.
'Jen, you probably shouldn't try it.'
Deceiving. A crumbling path, sloping the wrong way--I won't do it again...not for a long while. An advantage of an aging memory.
The end of the road.
As an aside, Maude A. will immediately notice that we are each wearing two different sets of clothing within this one hike. Either we got very dirty during the hike and changed clothing or we were in fact at Toadstools on two different days.
Inching my way down.
Back in Utah, a state of immense variety.
On our first trip to 'Toadstools', we drove forty-five minutes and arrived some 1 hour and forty-five minutes later. We were most upset to learn we had lost time. What a waste. On our return, I drove faster, hoping to make up some time. Amazing. The clock read fifteen minutes earlier than our departure time. Impossible! I didn't think I drove that fast.

The following week, it took us forty-five minutes to reach 'Toadstools' and the time was forty-five minutes after departure. Our return journey was forty-five minutes which turned out to be three-quarters of an hour later. Made sense but puzzled us. Can you help us understand the anomaly?
Cheers,
