For those of you who enjoy photographs, I've just added ten new ones depicting various hikes and scenery in Utah. We enjoy hiking slot canyons, which are narrow, often lengthy walks through high, vertical rock formations. When you encounter water, as seen in one photo, you just have to slog into it and you can't take off your shoes 'cause you don't know what's in the cold, muddy water. "The Narrows" is a hike down the Virgin River in Zion National Park. The water level varies depending upon the time of year. When we hiked it, the water was chest high at one point but more commonly thigh high. The photo of me standing in a narrow slot canyon was just as I was exiting from a walk of a couple of miles in that canyon. You want to avoid these places if you're claustrophobic. Two of the photos are in Arches National Park: Delicate Arch, and Double Arch. We stayed at Delicate Arch long enough to see the sun set. You can see the La Sal Mountains behind it. After the sun set, we had to use flashlights to find our way back via the cairns set on slick rock because much of the way there is no obvious trail or path. The "Embracing Aspens" are on Cedar Mountain east of Cedar City, Utah at about 8,000 ft elevation. I actually didn't realize what I had until I looked at the photo on my computer and saw the "embrace." I hope you enjoy these pictures.
