The Bookcliff Mountains are situated north of Fruita. The small hill chain consists of many thin rock layers that give the mountains the appearance of laying book pages. There are numberless back roads, some hiking trails, and simple government campgrounds. Apart from some hunters who chase wild goose and deer we are alone. The trails are snowy and frozen, but luckily not very steep. The scenery is a winter-wonderland, the weather perfect, and we got through another waiting day.
