Southern Utah Swing

After our Thanksgiving meal, we took off for a tour of Southern Utah.

We hiked to No Man's Mesa, a remote part of Kane County which has been grazed only briefly. No doubt because of the 4 mile slot canyon and 900 vertical feet of switchbacks across Navajo sandstone with exposure!

The slot in Lick Wash to No Man's Mesa
widened a bit
until the mesa appeared.


A short stop in Bryce National Park.

A meeting of stones. What plans are they making?

A brief hike in Capitol Reef NP.

First turns

Snow conditions are still a little thin, but we found some nice snow.

River Cleanup on the Jordan River

Heading out in search of trash.

Who would have thought that the Jordan River in North Salt Lake City would be this pretty?

Two of us picked out over a hundred pounds of trash from the river. The white can in my trash bag is a fire extinguisher.
