Powell Point
The Claron formation is the same sandstone as at Bryce Canyon. The hike to Powell Point was relatively easy, but it was 5.6 miles one way. The bristlecone pines up top (Pinus longaeva). were spectacular and numerous. This species is not the same as the ones we have in Colorado (Rocky mountain bristlecone)
