On the last day we were at Arco, we rode in Copper Basin. Since we couldn't go over the top from Antelope Creek, we drove all the way around and unloaded on the road that actually goes over the top into Sun Valley. I was amazed at how many people were there that day. First off, we rode into the Wild Horse campground and that's where we walked up to the waterfalls. The ranger told us it was about 1/3 of a mile...Jeff and I decided it was more like 1-1/3 miles. It was quite a hike. But the falls were awesome. They had even paved it most of the way, so that someone in a wheelchair could even make it. There was a platform with benches so you could sit down and enjoy the view and rest before you started hiking back.
Then we rode around and went up the Copper Basin side, clear to the top of Antelope Pass...we could make it from that side. We could see the snow drift that was across the road on the other side, and we figured we could have made it, but I'm glad we didn't push it. Especially after what happened to the couple from Blackfoot.
It was a another great day, and we hated to even head home, but all good things come to an end. But...we have our photos and our memories.
