We did two slot canyons on this day. peekaboo canyon first with a guide (Raymond). Primarily because you can’t get there without a 4 wheel drive.

Peekaboo was wider and more orange. Foreshadow: we’ve put in for the wave every day. And guess who got passes for tomorrow?

See the fish face?

Couples photos, you get more of these if you have a guide.

Next we went to wire pass. It was really cool. A little skinnier and very high. Darker stone with big rocky bases. Plus, Way cheaper! 6$ a head to park.

Glen canyon dam is worth a visit.

We left Vegas Friday and headed for Kanab Utah. We arrived in time to meet up with Julia and Dave and Jennifer and Danny for dinner at the peekaboo wood fired grill.

They left this morning but we were glad we had the chance to meet up with them.

I slept until almost 8, apparently I was still tired from the conference. Once we got moving, we had several fabulous hikes today. Belly of the dragon (a man made drainage tunnel) , Elkheart slot canyons, then the sand caves. We ate lunch at dark sky campground (leftovers) and headed back out to see the dinosaur tracks on bunting trail.

Bunting trail had dinosaur tracks. There were also petroglyphs at the top of this trail but we didn’t want to walk back in the dark.

It was a full day. I missed my person and am glad to be whole again. Dark Star campground is our host. Five out of five stars. Bonus points for the friendly cat.
