It's early June here in Escalante, weather is beautiful- high's are in the 80's and lows in the 50's. The sun is warm and the canyons are cool! Here's our group from Monday, having a great day in the canyon.
Susan on rappel and looking great! Check out the amazing cross-bedding in the wall behind her. These canyons are ancient sand dunes over two million years old! What you are seeing are the layers of sand that were deposited when the sandstone was still a dune, the changes in the direction of the layers indicates a change in the direction the wind was blowing when the sand was deposited. How cool is that?!
Our Monday crew met this little guy in the canyon, a Canyon Treefrog! An amphibian that lives in the desert, these little guys are nocturnal, hunting insects at night and hide in rock crevices during the day or in times of drought.
