Weather: low 70s, breezy
About this hike: Parked at the Bell Rock trailhead just off of route 179. I followed the Bell Rock loop trail to a summit trail. There were numerous other hikers trying to make the ascent, and I saw several already atop one of the spires of this rotund red sandstone formation. I didn't have much success. Not only is finding the trail to the summit tricky, it's on slick red rocks. The trail frequently vanishes, as after a certain point it's no longer marked and isn't regularly maintained. I reached the vortex point and sat for a while. Can't say I felt anything that you're supposed to feel in a vortex...just insane fear considering if I fell Bell Rock would be a little redder with my blood...
