Escalante

AN 'EXPLORERS OF THE LOST WORLD' ADVENTURE

Taking place over large expanses of slickrock ressembling melted ice-cream, cut by hidden canyons with names like Scorpion Gulch. Among the contrasting highlights:

An awe-inspiring encounter with a superlatively sized golden eagle.

Getting stuck in thick & thorny vegetation.

The momentary fright of sinking into quickmud solo.

Running out of water on a surround horizon of bare slickrock.

Transdimensional lights playing in the sky.

The all too common flat tire at the trailhead.
