Kane Gulch

We backpacked a 20 mile segment of Grand Gulch, a long, sinuous canyon in southeastern Utah. The trail started at the top of Kane Gulch. I loved the lizard sitting on top of a cairn.

This land is known for it's unusual sandstone formations.
At this point on the trail, we are about 5 feet above the creekbed which was dry now, but when it rains, the river rises up really high. You can see all the debris on top of the rocks left by the last flood.
This giant boulder I nicknamed "Italy" was sitting so precariously on its perch that I hastened Tahoe past it. It's probably been sitting there for 10,000 years, and I worried that it might tip now.
