Activity: Hiking State: Utah City: Moab Negro Bill Canyon Trail August, 2007 |
Experience Repeatability |
With Cristine and Pete Peterson hiked the popular Negro Bill Canyon trail situated east near Moab town.Not difficult.4 M round trip,takes 4 hours and fun is crossing several times little stream. Slippery and you can get lost. At the end of 2 miles one arrives at the Morning Glory Natural Bridge, 243ft arch, 6th longest in the States. Interesting wonder of nature,created by water and wind.Sandstone.We slept 2 nights in a B&B,owners a belgian couple. From there we continued on Rte 163 South passing some great landscapes: ate in Bluff,and especially Monument Valley arriving from East is momentous |

Activity: Hiking State: Utah City: St. George Coral Pink Dunes Park February, 2003 |
Experience Repeatability |
East of I 15 S in southern Utah in Kanab lays is wonderful park : Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park. It's of the beaten path.Short detour on way to Zion or Las Vegas. Elevation 6,000 ft. We were there in February, cold, windy, rainy, lonely. Not a soul. Wonderfully alone. The sand really looks coral/pink. Some mighty high ridged dunes . You can walk everywhere. Apparently it is an ATV paradise (in summer I suppose) because it is more than 3500 acres big. Rik and I trekked through the vast expanse. We thought we were in a film of Lawrence of Arabia. (On our way to the El's and Antje's wedding) |

Activity: Hiking State: Utah City: Green River goblin valley state park May, 2005 |
Experience Repeatability |
near Hanksville, Sth of I 70W. A must- see smallish park and kids love it. A phantasmagorical place. Wind and water carved pinkish brown rocks of all heights, ressembling goblins. We spent walking a few hours in this playground among these bizarre hooded creatures and climbed the lower ones. In the afternoon we did a wonderful hike "Slot Canyon" (5 miles) where at some places you have to squeeze through narrow passages.We were there in May. Few people. Camping on site- all commodities- is better than in a hotel. Gorgeous evening sun. merci mon grand chou pour une magnifique nuit! |

Activity: Hiking State: Utah City: Zion angels landing May, 2002 |
Experience Repeatability |
This is a must hike/climb in Zion. three quarters of the hike is a switchback paved road moving up in controlled elevation.Last section (1/3 mile)continues amongst boulders and fixed rope. Pay attention where you place your feet. It's airy. Not for those who are afraid of heights. At top grandiose view of the valley, especially before sunset.Most intimate moment with my buddy Pierre whose spirit remains eternally in Zion's Wonder. 1,500 ft denivellation. 4 hours walk. bring water along. Called serious hike/climb for healthy walker. Go out of season because less crowds. Fun camping in park. |
