This day was as hot as I've experienced hiking in the desert of Utah; around 85°F. The sun was relentless. I carried nearly a gallon of water and drank every drop. I saw only two other hikers on the trail. This photo shows the slot in the canyon wall that's the route home. I was back to my car by 3:30 wishing I'd chosen a cooler day but happy I made the trip. I hope you enjoyed the tour. Please click here to send email if you have comments or questions.
