Kolob Canyons

Like a cowboy lost in the desert without provisions, some days I get an insatiable and desperate craving for water.  When I started hearing that hoarse, dry plead in my mind, Utah was first to come to mind.  Sure, I could go to Lake Mead.  I could even run around in one of the busted sprinklers that spouts water everywhere except on the grass.  But the air in Utah is so crisp!  The Horchata at Perks! coffee hut is so good!  Zion it is.  It was a little cold still for the Narrows, so we tried out Kolob Canyons in the northwest side of the park.  It delivered everything:  deep blue sky contrasting the red rocks, a winding creek, wonderful air, trees for climbing, threats of mountain lions (who doesn't want a little suspense?)... 

All over another amazing hike with Kris.
