Jug Rock/Salt Wash, Part 2: The Muffin Ridge

After leaving the Delicate Arch Trail (Part 1 gallery), I hiked to a nearby ridge
for the view of Jug Rock and the "alcove blob." This ridge, just north of Delicate
Arch, has no name, but I call it the "muffin ridge" after the appearance of rounded
mounds at its apex. It appears at the center of this WikiMapia aerial view:
( http://www.wikimapia.org/#lat=38.746185&lon=-109.500196&z=16&l=0&m=a&v=2 ).
