Yesterday, Greg and I hiked Little Nelson Mountain. The peak was near Ferron, UT - Ferron is about 10 miles south of Castle Dale. Instead of going through Price to get there, we went to Fairview and headed up Fairview Canyon. The canyon road goes to 9,600 ft, it was so awesome on the canyon road. The road is plowed all year round, so we could see how much snow we have gotten for the year. There was tons of snow and there were so many places where the snow had not been touched at all. The snow was so smooth and bright white. We also saw a wild turkey on the side of the road. Too bad it isn't closer to Thanksgiving. :-) Unfortunately we never stopped on the canyon road for pictures. We only got a couple pictures of our hike also. It was a long day and the hike was a little harder than we thought it was going to be. We didn't stop to take lots of pictures, because we didn't want to be in the dark for too long on the way down. But we did get another peak!
This was the easiest part of the hike. You don't even want to know what the rest of the hike looked like - Steep, muddy, snowy, rocky ...you name it, it was there.

Thanks for the Fairview Canyon tip. I've wondered about that road and look forward to driving that
