Once we got her wandering, Annie didn’t want to stop. Next we were driving two miles down a dirt road to explore a canyon.
Little did we know that this mosaic of conglomerates from small
to large would become one of our favorite places in the park.
The hike begins in a narrow slot canyon filled with marbled walls.
This is not the trail but it sure is more fun!
Also not the trail. Ditto on the more fun part though.
This IS the trail.
So is this.
This too.
We saw some really neat rock faces.
One of our favorite parts about this area is all of the flowing curves.
We also like how you can have conglomerate on one side, smooth marbled rock on the other
or a mixture of the two.
And then there is, of course, the color!
The trail went on but the day was drawing to a close and the sun was sinking low in the sky. We headed out knowing that we would surely have to return to Mosaic Canyon one day.
Make a night of it and read the final chapter in… The Valley – Part 9
