A Drone Rescue
It was frustrating day.
A day I anticipated with great eagerness. The opportunity to finally fly my DJI Avata FPV drone through a close walled canyon. Something I’ve longed to do for some time.
After a long ride through a very bumpy, dusty, dry terrain, we made it. I launched the Avata, began my flight, and almost as soon as I began the flight, it ended. Crashed into a bush…of all places, on top of the mountain. Read on to learn the story.
A Kanab Utah Video
You’ve recently been reading about all the places we visited in Kanab Utah while there during the latter weeks in December. Today, I wanted to share with you a video which in fact documents all of the locations we have been writing about.
I Love the intro to this video, but the content should prove helpful to you as well. I hope you enjoy it.
Buckskin Gulch
The Buckskin Gulch via the Wire Pass trailhead is one of the more epic hikes I have ever done. This past Christmas marks the second time I’ve ventured into this, one of the worlds largest slot canyons. The canyon is part of the Coyote Buttes North region and The Wire Pass trailhead is the same trail for the world famous Wave hike. Both require permits. Buckskin is a day use permit and not part of the lottery system that controls hikes to The Wave.
If you are ever in this area, don’t miss this hike. It’s utterly astounding and amazing and full of photography. Check out this post from some photography suggestions if you plan to hike to take photos.
The Yellow Rock
There is an endless slew of hikes from which one can choose all throughout Utah. In particular, the stretch of road called Highway 89 and it’s cousin 89a leading east from Kanab Utah are replete with stunning hikes, vistas, and scenery that are second to none. In today’s post I want to take you to what is called The Yellow Rock.
Join me and read on.
Utah for Christmas
Well, we spent a full 9 days in the small city of Kanab, UT for Christmas with two of my sons and their ladies. While there, we made a number of hikes and today I want to share with you one of my all time favorites, the Deer Trap Mountain trail in Zion National Park.
