Perfect Sunday Stroll

I took the dogs for a walk over at Starkey this morning, the weather could not be better today.  The mutts had such an exciting time they were more riled up for a while after the walk than before it – talk about a back fire. But they are mellowed out now, yay 5 minutes of peace!

For the first time in memory we were able to get over the little walking bridge, lately it’s always washed sideways.  That gave us two options, the road or the bridge. I chose neither since the dogs have to walk in tandem, but they headed over the bridge without a problem. Yes, the picture on the right is the road!

ChoicesThe mutts were happy because we passed about 10 other dogs and a couple of horses.  Not to mention the fact that we heard something big right off the path in the bushes (maybe a squirrel, maybe a mountain lion, who can say?).  If that wasn’t enough while we were walking on the narrow path back a bird ran right under their noses from one side of the path to the other flapping it’s wings and squawking like crazy.  I’m pretty certain the dogs thought it was the BEST walk ever.

I had fun too, if they care.  Florida can definitely have a zen like beauty!

Hiked to the Maze Rock Art Site in Vermilion Cliff Hiked to the Maze Rock Art Site in Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. It's a short & easy hike to see these petroglyphs, about a 1.5 total out and back.  It's a really fun (remote) hike with very few people.

I cannot reccomend exploring National Monuments enough. They are just as awesome as our national parks, but usually have fewer crowds. Usually (not always!) they also have fewer amenities and more dirt roads, but they are awesome.

I've been in Utah for less than a week and can alr I've been in Utah for less than a week and can already tell one month isn't enough time. This area has more trails within a few miles than anywhere else I've stayed so far. And they've all been spectacular so far!!

This isn't really a hike - it's right off the road This isn't really a hike - it's right off the road. But how cool is this tunnel?? It's also pitch black and uneven footing in the middle.  Shockingly I didn't trip, but a light wouldn't have hurt. 

I've been in Utah for only a few days but I already know I won't be running out of new places to hike this month!
Horse Shoe Bend has been on my list of places I'd Horse Shoe Bend has been on my list of places I'd like to see in person for a while. I realized I was passing it on my way to the grocery store in Page, AZ and had to stop. Ten dollars and a mile and  a half round trip walk on a well graded path. So they said, but I'm not sure if it was even a mile total.
 And dog friendly!! I'm still super excited I got to see it in person.

The trail name in All Trails is Ghost Town Pahreah The trail name in All Trails is Ghost Town Pahreah Trail, but I saw no ghost and no town, though I did pass an old graveyard.  Decided to walk up the river a few miles and there was no direction you could look in at anytime that was not amazing.

This is just one of the cool stops on the hike to This is just one of the cool stops on the hike to Penasco Blanco. I could easily have spent a week in this park.

I was driving pretty much in the middle of nowhere I was driving pretty much in the middle of nowhere looking for a trail and saw a sign for Chaco pointing down a rutted dirt road. It was about 23 SLOW miles driving and then a 4 mile hike here. An amazing site! You walk past 3 smaller pueblos and lots of pictographs on the way. 

The ranger said you could spend 2 or 3 days exploring the park and I could totally see that. There's a few other long hikes. I think I took 5 hours walking 8 miles. There is so much history to see! And another win - very few people.
One of the 3 kings! One of the 3 kings!
I had planned to go to Bisti Wilderness after Taos I had planned to go to Bisti Wilderness after Taos several months ago but had to cancel after my little hiking accident.  But I finally made it!  I'm really excited to explore the area. Day 1 was a five mile walk through amazing formations. Lots of petrified wood - I wasn't expecting that!

Hiked up Golden Canyon first thing this morning. Hiked up Golden Canyon first thing this morning.  This is why a month in each place isn't too long. After work random hikes close to home and go straight to one of the busy hikes weekend mornings.  You pass the crowds coming in as you're leaving. And in this case, beat the heat.

Death Valley keeps showing new shockingly beautiful places. I'm already planning to come back.

It's wild how many springs are in what looks like It's wild how many springs are in what looks like a desolate, dry landscape. No swimming allowed but it's very tempting!

You do have to drive down a long and dusty road to get to this one. You can no longer guess my car's actual color...
