2023 - West - Driving to Kanab Ut - September 9

 September 9 - Such a beautiful drive today from Cannonville to Kanab, Utah.


Jill caught a picture of us driving through one of the Red Canyon Tunnels.




There was a herd of antelope grazing by the side of the road on Highway 89.


This is the entrance for our RV park in Kanab. What a back drop.

Even the storm behind us was gorgeous.

2023 - West - Escalante UT - Lower Calf Creek Falls - September 8

 September 8 - Yesterday Jill bought a magnet at out campground of Lower Calf Creek Falls because of it's beauty. Seeing we hiked Upper Calf Creek, she wanted to hike Lower Calf Creek. 

The hike was 6.5 miles at the base of a canyon following Calf Creek the entire way. It was a long hot hike with elevation changes of about 530 feet (but at least it was not all up and all down - just gradual rolling).

Lots of trekking through sand but also lots of shady stops.

2023 - West - Cannonville UT - Willis Creek Trail (slot canyon) - September 7

 September 7 - After yesterday I didn't think I would ever hike again, but when Vaughan said he wanted to hike Willis Creek we all jumped in the cars and away we went. Willis is one of my favorite slot canyons. It has a small stream running through it and is gorgeous.
