I took off on another solo trip to southern Utah to hike down a canyon and visit an arch located there. (The canyon and arch names have been omitted on purpose.) Instead of hiking back the way I came, I choose to climb up a difficult slope so I could walk the rim back. It took a […]
Owl Canyon Community
I took Friday off from work so I could go on another solo arch hunting trip. (David was on-call that weekend.) I headed out Thursday after work and slept in the Explorer that night just outside the entrance to Natural Bridges National Monument. Early the next morning, I drove down to the trailhead for Owl […]
