2025 - West - UT - Hanksville - Leprechaun Canyon & Angels Point - April 20

 4/20 - Happy Easter!

Today we drove out to hike Leprechaun Canyon. When we reached the first slot we discovered that only Jazzy could fit through. 


Plus, their was a choke-stone in our path.


So up and over we went. Luckily it was not a very tall slot.


However we could tell from above that it was one of the tightest slots we had ever seen.


Then a little bit up the path we came to the main slot.



Unfortunately, it narrowed down as well and had water in the bottom.


Time to turn around and head back.


I wanted to see how far I could get coming from the other side of the smaller slot.



All of us on top again.


This was a branch off the main hike to a potential slot but it was so choked with boulders that we continued our journey back to the cars.


But before we did everyone but the photographer wanted to practice bridging - a way to climb through a slot if you can't fit down in the base.

First Jim - 


I had to get a picture from below.


Then Jill - 


Then Vaughan - nice form!


Along the way I always make friends.



At this point we parted company. Vaughan and I drove out to Angel Point and Jim & Jill went on to hike Wild Horse Window seeing they decided not to go with us yesterday.

There was still snow on the Henry Mountains.



Down a long washboard dirt road we finally got to the Angel Point Overlook.



Meanwhile, Jim & Jill went to Wild Horse Window. 
Here are a few shots they took.
