Wandering in the Desert
June 21st, 2019
After visiting Goblin Valley Blueriverdream and I met up with another great model, NevaehLleh, and went exploring Wirepass Canyon and Buckskin Gulch.
Wirepass Canyon above. Buckskin Gulch below. Some claim that Buckskin Gulch is the deepest and longest slot canyon in the world. I’m not sure how they figured that out, but it’s deep, long, and beautiful.
The next day we paid a visit to the Toadstools in the rain:
The problem with both these locations is that they have become much to popular. In the slot canyons there was a constant stream of hikers. At one tricky spot where some climbing was required, there was a line of people waiting their turn. And the Toadstools, even in the rain, had a bunch of hikers. When I first visited these places about 15 years ago, I pretty much had them to myself. I guess I just shouldn’t have told anyone where they were. Too late now.
Even more wet desert adventures to come in future posts.
