It turned out to be a rainy day today so a major hike was postponed. Instead, we crossed our fingers and went to Moonflower canyon to look for some transient waterfalls.
Out here, when there is a rain storm, there can be waterfalls that only last a short period of time and you need to be in the right place at the right time. We got soaked, but it was worth it. The main fall hadn't started when we arrive as the pool at the top hadn't filled up, but when it did, what a sight.
I hope you enjoy as much as we did

Peter

Well.......what can I add to WOW?!!!.......Really, Peter, Thanks so much for continuing to share these with us. Simply amazing, and you had to be there at the right time or you don't see it; you gotta' feel small and meek.

Great photos. We were hiking in the Milford Sound Trek in New Zealand, years ago and a similar thing happened. It rained heavily one night and the next day there were waterfalls all over the place.
People said it was a very unique sight to see all the waterfalls.

The latest installment of adventure photos are from a camping trip to Happy Canyon. This is a slot canyon off the Dirty Devil river south of Hanksville UT. It was Jeep drive off the highway on Poison Spring Rd which is in a wash a good deal of the time, we then turned onto an old Uranium mining road which is blocked by rockfall just past the camping sites. There was a lot of petrified wood off the Uranium road too.
After setting up camp, we explored a little and had dinner. The next morning we hiked down to the Dirty Devil, crossed the river and got into the mouth of the canyon. We hiked up a fair way before turning back. There was some weather predicted for the evening and we didn't want to get caught in a wash with more water flowing
Here are some photos

Peter, Exactly what Tom said. Again, thanks so much for posting these pics of places that I might possibly never see.
