Great shots from a magnificent scenery - thanks for sharing them, Peter.
Like Tony said: Stay hydrated. And with all that sunshine: Don't forget your hat

Took another hike yesterday, had hat, sunblock, 3 liters of water, model 28 and have a GPS on order.
We explored some small canyons which all dead ended, but were really interesting. Sand dunes and slickrock were prevalent on this hike. Enjoy some photos

Great shots Peter!!!!
I love the next to the last!
How do your hiking boots grip on that rock???
Tony

Thanks Tony

It is like walking on sandpaper, boots grip great, you can walk up really steep slopes. You do need to be careful if there is loose sand on the rock too.
I love all of the amazing rock features

Peter

Yep, a scenic picture no matter where you point the camera. Great shots. Very jealous!!!

Are your dogs good at avoiding the cactus?

It sure looks like you are enjoying life.

Hi Alan
I am enjoying life.
Unfortunately dogs are not going on these hikes, they are getting older and the distances are too far for them in this warmer climate. There is a good bit of scrambling over rocks, which they probably could not do either and I wouldn't want to carry two 90 pound dogs either.
They get out for shorter hikes near the house now

That landscape is otherworldly!

I like those occasional bursts of color from the wildflowers.

That's what I thought too, it looks like it should be in a Science Fiction movie!

Here are some photos from a hike to pothole arch. It was a warm day, but very nice. My water stayed cold all hike as I fill the Camelback with ice. Really nice petroglyph of a sheep or something
Let me know if you get tired of my Utah photos
