Ute Canyon

Ute canyon was still dressed in the fabric of winter while we were hiking in t-shirts and shorts on an unseasonable warm and absolutely wonderful March morning. The sky was the bluest of blue and the canyon walls a wonderful red while the grass remained a winters brown. Ute Canyon, Colorado National Monument.

Moving up a ridge in Bryce Canyon with long shadows and those ubiquitous pesky jet trails guiding us towards to the top on a hazy morning hike. Even when seeking solitude those darn jets trails remind us we are not so far away.
