Horseshoe Bend, busy place, it was about a mile hike from the parking lot.
Glen Canyon Dam, tours were full so we just walked around.
Toadstool Hoodoos Trail in the Grand Staircase Escalante. One could walk around this area for hours.
A toadstool.
Entering the Wire Pass slot canyon.
View when your coming out of the Wire Pass slot canyon to connect with the Buckskin Gultch. We started to hike it but only got about 1/2 mile before we ran into a big water puddle. It was about a foot deep and we weren’t up for the challenge.
Climbing back up the 10 foot drop. On the way down, the space between the top of the rock and the first step down is a doozy.
Since we didn’t win the lottery for the Wave we opted to go to White Pocket.
There is a large area to walk around and the colors were awesome. Every bend you walked around seemed better then the last one.
Another view of the White Pocket area.
If you drive back to the 2nd parking area there are some Petroglyphs, can’t say that I would recommend driving down there.
The only downside to the White Pocket was the long drive with the last 9 miles being in deep sand. You definitely need 4 wheel drive and high clearance. There were a couple spots where we had to back up and take a few runs at it to get thru. There was also one gate we had to open and close. Not like the farm, I could open this one with flip flops.
Bryce Canyon, stunning views.
View from the Sunset overlook.
The decent (for us) hike between sunset to sunrise overlooks, we’re pretty sure we chose correctly.
Natural Bridge view point, just pullover to the side of the road, no hiking required.
Our last day we hiked Lick Wash.
Lick Wash was not as colorful as some of the other areas but it was still a cool slot canyon to hike. For the most part the road was better then some we drove on.
