Grand Staircase Escalante


Sunday, we set off for Grand Escalante. After stopping at a BLM office, we headed out with directions. Our first stop was “the toadstools”.  If was a fun hike with interesting formations and the bonus of wild flowers. 






Next we set off for Wirepass, a really fine slot canyon. The drive to the trailhead was about 9 miles of dirt road.  The canyon hike was spectacular. 






 




















On the drive back out we were treated to colorful walls reminiscent of “artists palette” in Death Valley.







Scruffy is a quick learner and today he learned to fetch and bring the ball back to me. Earlier this week I would throw the ball and he would run to it and wait for me to catch up. Today he spontaneously started to bring it back and drop it near me.
