The canyon just north of my campsite. 
The pyramid peak is The Wickiup.

Wickiup, UT

The scenery here is quite dramatic.

I hiked to see the backside of "The Wickiup." 
Even though the vertical change was only 300+ feet,
it was steep & rugged as well as
significant ups & downs.  This hike felt like a workout!

The trail twists behind the bush through
this space between these rugged cliffs.
The Wickiup is just visible at the top.

And that's what you see once past The Wickiup!
