Kolob Canyon's Taylor Creek Trail - Zion National Park

Cedar Breaks

The Old Spanish Trail

Yesterday we traveled a piece of the Old Spanish Trail northeast of Parowan, UT.

This 1200 mile trade rout connected settlements near Santa Fe, NM with Los Angeles, CA and was used most heavily from about 1830 to 1850.  Portions of the rout were established by Spanish explorers in the late 1500's.

We stopped here and spent a couple of hours hiking nearby.

On the drive out we ran across this USGS survey benchmark.

Zion National Park - Kolob Canyon - Taylor Creek Trail

Today Wayne and I hiked the Kolob Canyon Taylor Creek trail in the northwest section of Zion National Park.

Near Glendale, Utah

 While driving from Jacob Lake, AZ to Duck Creek, UT I stopped for a short mid-day hike just north of Glendale, UT.

Loved this great sandstone rock formation and old juniper tree.

A Week in Sedona

I had a great time over the last week hiking in Sedona, AZ.

 On Wednesday we hiked the Teacup trail as far as the base of Teacup Rock-- shown here.
