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...
