Paria Canyon Hike - Deeper and Deeper
Patterns and designs everywhere. Looking up. Dwarfed by the canyon walls. Shadows and light. Paria Canyon at one of its most narrow spots.
                       
We called this spot Desperation Camp. Morning sunlight hits the upper peaks of the canyon walls. Desperation Camp in the canyon. Back on the watery trail. Slices of Sandstone.
 
Towering sides in a narrow part of the canyon. A spring near mile 10. The sunshine beckons. The walls in the morning. Looking back to the narrows.
 
A splash of green against the red rock. Gary walks carefully, watching out for quicksand. The beginnings of another side canyon. The canyon starts to open up. The trail is a little drier.
