May 23, 2017 Little Wild Horse Canyon, San Rafael Swell, Utah

It was 83 degrees and sunny. We hiked Little Wild Horse last time we were here, but it was so pretty we decided to hike it again. It is cool and shady in those narrow canyons.

The San Rafael Swell is very colorful and rugged. John entering the beginning of the narrows.

The narrows became wavy and had circular lines and curves.

Curving passages. There was a section with knee deep water. I went barefoot, it was soft sand and smooth rocks. Here is John ahead of me. He had his chacos on so just kept walking.

Canyon beetle, holey rocks, two shots of the sky reflected in the watery passage, corner  lines and a dinosaur head looking rock.

John as the canyon continues with undulating  and holey walls.

Narrow horizontal lines in the waves. 

Wide rising lines on the way back. John exiting the watery passage into the sunlight.

John’s head above the tight curves and me below the line.

S-turn. Moqui balls, petrified lapping ocean lines, holes and lines, a lizard and water channels through the rock.

Maps of the hike. The top one Little Wild horse is the second from the left, the lower one shows the route in red lines, we went up the right one, the left one is Bell canyon. We also hiked that last time, but not this time.
