I got up early to go on this hike southeast of Kanab, Utah on Highway 89 down House Rock Valley. I have been dreaming about coming back here since March just before the world went nuts

I kept a vigorous pace thru the sand wash trail. I started at the Wire Pass area like before. This time I wanted to go up the Buckskin Gulch trail

This place I named "The Cathedral"

I like to give things I see made up names as I go along to keep myself amused

From the Cathedral going North leads you to Buckskin Gulch,which is pictured above. Going south is a section of narrows that goes on for over 20 miles I am told. Someday, I want to go on a back pack trip for a few days thru the narrow canyon

Once thru the narrows, the wash opened up to show the desert life

I wish I had more time to keep going, but I was thankful for the time I had. And it was getting hot. So back thru the narrows
