(2010-May 4-7) Utah Trip-Davis Gulch and Hole-in-the-Rock. Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah.
Drove 14 hours straight, ending up at Hole-in-the-Rock (Lake Powell) at approximately 3:00 PM. Hiked around upper Hole-in-the-Rock ledges above the lake and then down to the lake itself. Woke up early the following morning and captured some nice shots of the sunrise over Lake Powell above Hole-in-the-Rock. Back tracked on Hole-in-the-Rock Road (4x4 portion) and parked at the head of Davis Wash.
Dayhiked along the north rim of Davis Gulch, climbed down into the Gulch, and hiked to Lake Powell. The light on Bements Arch was just right at about 10:00 AM. Very beautiful canyon. One impressive waterfall in the Gulch near where I entered. Powell water level was just west of La Gorce Arch. Hiked back to my camp, which was along Hole-in-the-Rock Road before sunset. Awoke early the next morning and caught a couple of shots of the sun rising over canyon country.
Drove to a dry wash area and explored Spooky, Peek-a-Boo, and a brief section of Brimstone slot canyons. Hiked back to my Xterra by 3:00 PM and headed for Red Rock Canyon National Recreation Area in Nevada, arriving about 8:30 PM. Awoke early (of course) the following morning and captured some decent shots of the Red Rock Canyon area. Headed home. Great trip. I could spend a long time walking around the Utah Glen Canyon area, so beautiful.
