This was the first slot canyon we visited, Buckskin Gultch. Gorgeous!
Notice that I was the first one up!
This was us before the bike ride down Red Canyon. Squareknot told us it was a 4 mile ride all downhill. What he failed to realize or mention was that the bike trail had been extended 4 miles, all of which were uphill. It was beautiful though and we had a great time!
The beginning of day two was a hike to Upper Calf Falls. It was a beautiful hike and a beautiful waterfall.
This slot canyon was called Peekaboo. Perhaps you can see why.
The only picture we have of all of us. There aren't a lot of places to put a camera when the walls are 100-200 feet straight up!
This slot was called Spooky. It was so narrow I was very concerned that we would get stuck. It was definitely spooky.
We finished up this trip with a quick walk to Horseshoe Bend. This is an annual trip for my parents so anyone who wants to go next year is invited! We don't eat at any chain restaurants and there is a lot of hiking and walking but it is a one of a kind experience.

It was so fun and especially to have you and Zach along with us, it really is amazing country, so much to explore! Thanks for coming along!
That looks AMAZING! Makes me want to get outdoors more often. Beautiful. You are all quite the adventurous hiker/bikers! What did you decide on for PA school? From what others posted on your blog, it sounded like NY...? Congrats on getting in, by the way. But I'm not at all surprised. ;) You are so brilliant!
Looks like such a good time!! That spooky one definitely looked spooky! Seems like I am remembering another biking trip (or hiking) where the path was thought to be shorter than it actually ended up being. So funny!!!
WOW. I may have passed out in Spooky...but all I can say is WOW!
Let me just set the record straight that Shannon was not the first one up in our short climbing excursion. That picture was taken while we were on the way down!
