Escalante Trip

This past week we spent a few days in Escalante, Utah to visit family and friends. While there we enjoyed a couple of hikes. Day-1, we hiked the Lower Calf Creek Falls trail with Aaron, Annika and Emmy. The hour and a half hike ends at one of the most beautiful falls. Aaron and Emmy enjoyed getting in the water to cool off after the long hike.



Day-2, we hiked with friends Dennis & Dana Waggoner who moved from Tulsa, OK to Escalante to become part owners of Escalante Outfitters. This was an all day hike through an unnamed slot canyon in the Grand Staircase National Monument.





After entering the slot canyon, you descend deeper and deeper. The walls quickly become higher and more narrow, seemingly with every turn. Towards the end of the canyon you rapel approximately 90' to drop down even further. It was certainly an unforgettable experience!
