Wildhorse Window

Wildhorse Window is a thirty-foot diameter skylight arch in a cave in the San Rafael Swell. To find it: From I70, go south on UT24 for about 25 miles to the Goblin Valley turn-off. From the turn-off, go about four miles to the Temple Mountain Junction. Turn left (south) and drive 0.3 mile. Turn right (west) and go another 0.3 mile until you can see a large cave to the west. Park and hike cross-country across Temple Wash and toward the cave. There is a considerable amount of cryptobiotic soil here, so stay in washes or on slickrock.

"One final paragraph of advice: Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a reluctant enthusiast ... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotised by desk calculators. I promise you this; you will outlive the bastards." --Edward Abbey
