We left Surprise in April. We spent a few weeks near Cottonwood, AZ, a week in Kanab, UT and moved to Escalante, UT, a small town in the middle of nowhere. Just the kind of place we like.
Parunweap Canyon near Kanab
Our RV site in Escalante where we spent a month.
Escalante sits on the northern edge of Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, a vast remote area of mountains, canyons and desert in south central Utah.
Perhaps not the wisest place to park
Views from the bridge. I was not able to get a photo of the bridge itself.
This sign gets an old trucker's attention.
An area called the Devil's Garden
The Hole in the Rock
Along the Burr Trail, an old cattle driving route from near Escalante to the Colorado River
The Burr Trail Switchbacks
Kodachrome Basin State Park
No one knows for sure how the spires were formed. The best guess, in my opinion, is that they are deposits left by old springs that were harder than the surrounding rock that was eroded away.
It was starting to get hot in Utah so we headed towards Wyoming. Along the way, we stopped for a few days, in northeast Utah, at a forest service campground in the Uinta Mountains.
We will continue with our Wyoming travels on our next post.
