We are heading south on road 98, a small parking lot marks the entrance.Īfter this walk, we go to Horseshoe. Some rafts are preparing to leave for several days.įriday June 5 : we head to Waterholes Canyon after purchasing a permit at Upper Antelope Canyon: $ 5 per person. That's fun! Colorado is very beautiful but very cold too!ĭipped your feet, calves but it stops there! We go back and we then go to Lees Ferry. What refreshment on arrival! We are all alone. The beginning is pretty easy because it is flat but then we have to climb on the rocks. It is a slot canyon that leads to the Colorado River (6 kms round-trip). Thursday june 4 : we have planned for today a walk to Cathedral Wash. We find our American friends, Richard and Wendy at Wahweap Campground. Walking in the water, the return seems faster! We made about 6 miles round trip. With the heat, hiking boots will dry quickly. This time, we don't hesitate to put feet in the water as they are already wet. We hesitate to climb the ladder on the side of the waterfall to see two other cascades but the back down by that scale does not reassure us, it looks very slippery. We are thus obliged to set foot in the water and have no regrets because Kanarra Creek is beautiful. We avoid putting foot in the water, but for the last 30 meters, as we enter the canyon and hear the famous waterfall, there are no more corners of 'beach'. We must follow the river and cross it several times to make the best track, cut a path through the trees and rocks. The path is not indicated, one sometimes wonders if we are on track. At first, it climbs a bit and then you end up in the forest. Wednesday June 3rd : today, direction Kanarraville to see the cascade of Kanarra Creek. We still have time to walk on the "Paru's Trail" from Canyon Junction to the Visitor Center, about 2 miles along the Virgin River. This loop is quite nice, because it's in the woods The temperature is so a little cooler ! A shuttle drives us to the beginning of the trail at Zion Lodge. We decide not to hike this trail and prefer the "Emerald pool" trail, 5km round trip. According to the ranger, there is a lot of water. We then move to the Visitors Center to get informations about the trail to the narrows. We buy the annual pass (80 $) that will allow us to enter every national parks. We start by booking a room at the Terrace Brook Lodge in Springdale. Tuesday June 2nd : departure for Zion NP. We then move to the hotel (Super 8 on Koval Lane), and to the Caesar's Palace to eat at the buffet. At last we arrive in Las Vegas at 5:20 pm local time. At the airport in Roissy, there are more controls than usual : we have to wake the laptops, cameras, even lenses from our bags !! And so it is in Minneapolis. Peekaboo Slot Canyon is definitely a must see for anyone visiting the area!

He is so personable and makes the tour so interesting and enjoyable. He is also a great photographer, so you don’t have to take any selfie‘s.
