| Cathedral Valley & Capitol Reef National Park May 15, 2011 On our final day in Utah, after the fantastic Maze Expedition, six of eight adventurers spent another day exploring over 100 miles visiting & photographing two more of Southern Utah's delights. |
 |
| Fun & Photo Expedition to The Maze, Utah May, 2011 A hardy group of 8 adventurers led by Chuck Williams went exploring for 4 days in "The Maze." This is one of the most remote & difficult areas to access in Southern Utah. Day one & Day 6 were spent in the lap of luxury, Hanksville. (not satire, just a nice, basic & friendly place to stay). The Maze is reached by 4x4 only: you do 30 miles of gravel + 8 miles of bone jarring, vehicle wrenching excitement with a little Fear thrown in! Once there, you are captured, captivated - & - enchanted by the Maze's architectural mimicry of temples, cathedrals, spires, pagodas, shrines, castles, battlements. We were blessed by mostly good weather: It was cold, wet the 1st night, storms finished up the next day, followed by mild conditions for our explorations and hikes. Great campout. |
