Canyonlands - Twelve Legs

An October 2006  Anniversary Trip for Richard and Abby

Photos by Richard R. Barron



On the middle day of our trip, Abby decided to take the day off and relax in Monticello with the dogs. I took advantage of the situation by taking a long hike in the Needles district of Canyonlands National Park. I went some of the way up Lost Canyon, then doubled back to Squaw Canyon and made the loop with Big Spring Canyon. All told, I hiked about 10.5 miles, and saw a total of eight other people.

The trail that leads to these canyons in The Needles ascends a beautiful and interesting slickrock bench...
