Horseshoe Canyon, Utah

Memorial Weekend, Day 1


My friend, Carey, and I went hiking in Horseshoe Canyon to see the ancient rock art. Starting out that morning, the desert was warm with the scent of flowers in the air. Since it had been such a wet spring, the whole desert was green and full of wild flowers of every kind. Definitely a rare site!

  1. I'm glad you made it in. When we tried taking the road south of Green River, we hit about twenty washouts. Finally, we hit one washout that hung up our vehicle, leaving our wheels spinning. Fortunately, a couple, Dana and Kyle, showed up from the opposite side. Using two metal stakes we chipped away at the ground under the bumper and chassis. After about an hour we got the car out. We were only two miles from the park entrance road. Traveled from Minnesota just for this. A National Park--but no national care for a road to get there. And they tell us we're in Afghanistan to fix up the country. Why doesn't the government fix up our country??
