Ride~About: 20 Mule Team Canyon in Death Valley

Uh-oh. Driving down CA-127 to Death Valley’s southern entrance, we may run into some weather! Well, onward to 20 Mule Team Canyon, a 2.8 mile one-way dirt road along CA-190 into Death Valley. We can’t let a little rain stop the adventures. Well, we do have to be careful of flash flooding. Let’s go and hope for good weather
Here we go . . .

Kolob Canyons, Zion’s Northwest Corner

Thanks to NPS/Daren Reehl for this picture

We visited Kolob Canyons, the far northwest corner of Zion National Park, in April 2017. We had warm temperatures, lots of flowers, lovely bright green Gambel oaks and evergreens. Now, six years later, it is a very different early spring due to very different weather issues. Strong storms raging from the Pacific Ocean across California and hitting the Western states as well as moving across the country. Feet of snow where they usually get none, 30 and 40 degree temps when it should be in the 60s/low 70s, cloudy after cloudy day. Wow! It could be some time before the warm spring sunshine we love prevails. Regardless, snow on enormous red rocks is worth another visit. We are high on the western edge of the Colorado Plateau and taking a 5-mile drive to views that will take your breath away!

Come on along!

What’s In a Name? Dead Horse Point State Park

Phew! It has been a LONG couple of years but so glad to be back with you! Hope all is well with you and yours!!

So, what’s in a name? I’ll get to that shortly, but Dead Horse Point State Park, only 13 miles from Canyonlands National Park Island in the Sky, is an often-overlooked gem. Come on along to see the wonder of this very small state park–canyons, cliffs, and the Colorado River.

Let’s go!
