Best Monday Ever.

Mondays. Something many of us dread...but not when you're in Escalante playing in a beautiful slot canyon!  Yesterday's crew got to help this little guy out of a real pickle.

They found him stuck deep in the canyon. Sometimes animals fall or get washed into the canyons and can't get back out and end up starving or dying of dehydration.  We like to help the animals out when we can- karma comes around!

Our canyoneers descending into the depths of this twisting, colorful canyon.  Amazing to think they are following a path carved by water through an ancient sand dune! Earth is so cool.

 Kasey, Garrick, and Judd just chillin' and bridgin'.  Did you know sandstone gets its red color from iron oxide? Each grain of sand in the rock is coated in it!

 Up close and personal with the sandstone, Kasey and Garrick show how to be smooth in a tight spot.
