Southern Utah is a backpacker's dream

1/15/08: Rule Number One: Never camp in wash bottoms. OK, so we didn't camp, just hiked the Grand Wash trail along a narrow wash bottom with sheer canyon walls on both sides. There is something humbling and glorious about being in the midst of ancient rock. Todays' scenes: vaulted white rock domes, colorful cliffs, twisting canyons, graceful arches. Juniper and pinon trees, mule deer. This is great horse back riding country (in another life, cowboys are my weakness!!). Tomorrow we're off to the soaring spires of Bryce Canyon. No more words...see the pics...

  2. Hi you two,
    Glad to hear the camper was a success. You must be seeing such beautiful sites. Loved the pictures, especially the one of me and Jim :)

    Those darn Mormons....apparently they don't like the internet. Probably think its "evil" or something.
    Keep blogging. Love reading about your adventures.
    Love, Amy
