A Grand Adventure

 

Last Month Sarah and I backpacked for 3 days in the Grand Gulch which is part of the Bears Ears National Monument. We actually hiked through Kane Gulch, then part way thru the Grand Gulch and into a bit of Todie Canyon. It was an amazing place and a fun adventure for us. 

We didn't see anyone on the trail the first day. It was surprisingly shady and pleasant in the gulch and there was a ton of shade and vegetation. We started with just 3 liters of water each. Luckily there was a lot of water available to filter this season, more than usual according to the rangers. The rock walls were beautiful and we saw a few ancient cliff dwellings and some petroglyphs and an arch. We had planned to take a lot of video but we forgot the charging cord for our phones so we only shot photos and video the first day.
