Peek-a-boo Slot Canyon

 On our last day at Zion, we drove over to Kanab, Utah, so we could visit Peek-a-boo Slot Canyon. There are many slot canyons in this area of sandstone that have been carved through the ages by water and wind.

When our guide, John, picked us up, he was very excited.  He had seen that he was to have Donald Davis on his tour and he and his wife are attendees at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival.  His first comment was, “It’s really you…now I get to tell you stories!”  He was excellent and we had to stop every little bit so he could take pictures to send to his wife!  It was sweet.

There was a big visible storm in the sky with rain in the distance. This was something to be on the lookout for. We did not want to be in this narrow canyon if rain fell…the canyon was where the water goes and can be very dangerous. Every year people die by not heeding the rain warnings.  We were fine, though, as the storm was downstream from where we were.  In the end we got only a dozen drops or so.

Finally we came to where we could go no farther. The only way left was up!  We each tried to see if we had the power to go up, but, this is as far as I got!

It was a day of beautiful color and rock formations to remember.
