There is something truly magical being surrounded by golden cliffs carved and smoothed by water. Willis Creek Slot Canyon with beautiful, very photogenic narrows has no technical hiking involved. It's enjoyable experience š If you wish to learn more, please search for chapter 67 in my blog: truckiempoameryce.wordpress.com This picture is in full dimensions in Adobe Stock at number 282340785 available. #utah #williscreekslotcanyon #slotcanyon #williscreekcanyon #grandstaircaseescalante #grandstaircase #kanion #kanionszczelinowy
Took a side trip to a nearby slot canyon at Willis Creek near Bryce Canyon National Park. 4WD or AWD with high clearance recommended to get to this area. Luckily, there were no signs of rain or a thunderstorm that day, so there was a low risk for flash floods in the slot canyon. Family-friendly trail that is mostly flat with plenty of rocks to climb on #utah #williscreekslotcanyon #slotcanyonsofutah #slotcanyon #utahnature #utahhiking #statepark #rockformations #geologicalformation #williscreeknarrows #rockclimbing #plussize #plussizehiker #plussizeclimber

As we continue our way home some time in Southern Utah was called for. Upper Onion Creek campground outside of Moab was amazing, as was Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument and Kodachrome Basin State Park. Slot canyons, hoodoos, multi colored rocks made for a grand time by all. Plus Fiona was very happy not being in a National Park.

Pour lāanectode Cāest en 1996 que la zone fut deĢclareĢe monument national par le preĢsident Bill Clinton.Le preĢsident Donald Trump ouvre aĢ partir de feĢvrier 2020 le Grand Staircase-Escalante aĢ lāexploitation minieĢre et au forage car le parc regorge de ressource en charbon. Celui-ci voit la taille de sa zone proteĢgeĢe eĢtre reĢduite de preĢs de la moitieĢ.On ne peut pas comprendre le peu de respect du preĢsident Trump pour le travail de Clinton aĢ preĢserver une nature absolument extraordinairement vierge. Catastrophe environnementaleā¦. For the anectode It was in 1996 that the area was declared a national monument by President Bill Clinton.President Donald Trump will open the Grand Staircase-Escalante to mining and drilling in February 2020 because the park is rich in coal resources. This one is seeing the size of its protected area cut nearly in half.We canāt understand President Trumpās lack of respect for Clintonās work in preserving an extraordinarily pristine wilderness.

MeĢme en plein eĢteĢ et en plein cagnard, la balade est agreĢable car aĢ lāabri du soleil. De plus la rivieĢre qui y coule permet de se rafraichir. Even in the middle of summer and in the middle of the heat wave, the walk is pleasant because it is sheltered from the sun. Moreover the river which flows there allows to refresh itself. #escalante #escalantenationalmonument #grandstaircaseescalantenationalmonument #williscreek #williscreekslotcanyon #utawesome #visitutah #utahtravels #experienceutah #uswilderness #utahphotography #exploreutah #travelutah #roadtrip #roadtripusa #hiddengem #utahphotographer #beautifuldestinations #desertlife #utahillustrated #utahunique #visitutahdach #paradise_of_travel #slotcanyons #slotcanyon
La tempeĢrature est treĢs agreĢable ce jour-laĢ. Point de soleil, mais de gros nuages noirs inquieĢtants qui ne nous deĢcouragent pas pour entreprendre cette courte balade.

A lāeĢcart des foules, en dehors des sentiers battus, Willis Creek slot canyon est une balade sympa aĢ faire avec des enfants. On peut faire la totaliteĢ de la marche qui fait 7,7 km aller et retour. Mais on peut aussi faire demi-tour deĢs que les falaises disparaissent apreĢs 2 km de marche. Away from the crowds, off the beaten track, Willis Creek slot canyon is a nice walk to do with children. We can make the totality of the walk which makes 7,7 km roundtrip. But you can also turn back as soon as the cliffs disappear after 2 km of walking. #escalante #escalantenationalmonument #grandstaircaseescalantenationalmonument #williscreek #williscreekslotcanyon #utawesome #visitutah #utahtravels #experienceutah #uswilderness #utahphotography #exploreutah #travelutah #roadtrip #roadtripusa #hiddengem #utahphotographer #beautifuldestinations #desertlife #utahillustrated #utahunique #visitutahdach #paradise_of_travel #slotcanyons #slotcanyon
Nous commencĢ§ons la marche en ayant un Åil constant sur lāeĢvolution des nuages.

Nous sommes obligeĢs dāeĢcourter notre marche pour sāassurer de pouvoir rebrousser chemin. Il faut avouer que nous ne sommes pas treĢs confiants. We start the walk with a constant eye on the evolution of the clouds. We see lightnings and we think about the condition of the off road that we have just taken to arrive at Willis Creek. We are forced to shorten our walk to make sure we can turn back. We must admit that we are not very confident. #escalante #escalantenationalmonument #grandstaircaseescalantenationalmonument #williscreek #williscreekslotcanyon #utawesome #visitutah #utahtravels #experienceutah #uswilderness #utahphotography #exploreutah #travelutah #roadtrip #roadtripusa #hiddengem #utahphotographer #beautifuldestinations #desertlife #utahillustrated #utahunique #visitutahdach #paradise_of_travel #slotcanyons #slotcanyon
Aujourdāhui nous irons nous balader dans le Willis Creek slot canyon. La meĢteĢo est orageuse et le ciel bien noir. Il est deĢconseilleĢ de se promener dans les slots canyon en peĢriode dāorage. Une crue soudaine meurtrieĢre peut surgir en quelques secondes meĢme sāil ne pleut pas sur nous. Cāest donc avec un peu de crainte que nous deĢcidons de nous y engager. La veille (en juillet 2017) il y eu 9 morts en Arizona dans une rivieĢre ouĢ nous nous eĢtions arreĢteĢs il y quelques anneĢes. Ce nāest pas encourageant.En meĢme temps, nous croisons encore des touristes qui commencent la balade. Today we will go for a walk in the Willis Creek slot canyon. The weather is stormy and the sky is dark. Itāis not recommended to walk in the slot canyon during a thunderstorm. A deadly flash flood can occur in seconds even if itāis not raining on us. So itās with a bit of fear that we decide to go for it. The day before (in july 2017) there were 9 deaths in Arizona in a river where we had stopped a few years ago.At the same time, we still meet tourists on our way back. #escalante #escalantenationalmonument #grandstaircaseescalantenationalmonument #williscreek #williscreekslotcanyon #utawesome #visitutah #utahtravels #experienceutah #uswilderness #utahphotography #exploreutah #travelutah #roadtrip #roadtripusa #hiddengem #utahphotographer #beautifuldestinations #desertlife #utahillustrated #utahunique #visitutahdach #paradise_of_travel #slotcanyons #slotcanyon #paradise_of_travel
Willis Creek est situeĢ en Utah dans le Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Ce parc est lāun des plus grands parcs des EĢtats-Unis et proteĢge une zone presque vierge de 7600 km2.

Willis Creek is located in Utah in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. This park is one of the largest parks in the United States and protects a nearly blank area of 7,600 square miles. Itās accessible mainly by off roads that are more or less passable depending on the weather. The landscapes that make up the park are very different from one region to another. #escalante #escalantenationalmonument #grandstaircaseescalantenationalmonument #williscreek #williscreekslotcanyon #utawesome #visitutah #utahtravels #experienceutah #uswilderness #utahphotography #exploreutah #travelutah #roadtrip #roadtripusa #hiddengem #utahphotographer #beautifuldestinations #desertlife #utahillustrated #utahunique #visitutahdach #paradise_of_travel #slotcanyons #slotcanyon #paradise_of_travel

Willis Creek Slot Canyon was a great hike after 3 long days. I loved this hike because I was leading the way because the boys were too busy climbing everything they could. So glad we can use the indoor pool at Bryce so it kept the whining to a minumum. #williscreekslotcanyon #grandstaircaseescalantenationalmonument

This was our first time in the Willis Creek Narrows Slot Canyon (1st time in a slot canyon this narrow. Narrow = fun). Wear shoes that can get wet!!!! We hiked 3.2 miles total (itās 4 miles total round trip), and we found a shaded flat rock to eat a light lunch (pack out all your trash). You are constantly jumping from left to right over water, so, even though the trail is easy, without much climbing at all, you have to pay attention and decide where to cross the water. I have short legs, my path was through it a lot š. Lots of shade and sun going through. Weāve never hiked anything like this and we give three thumbs up. Also, what does pic #3 look like to you???? Very dog friendly, our dog is not a super fan of water so I can just imagine us carrying him at some point). There is parking at the trailhead (you must travel down a dirt road to get here). #williscreekslotcanyon #slotcanyon #slotcanyons #slotcanyonsofutah #hikes #hikeutah #hikeutahcanyons #getoutside #escalantenationalmonument

Now these are our kind of slots! We checked out the Willis Creek Narrows and got to experience our first slot canyons! Weāre total and unashamed mountain lovers, but these slot canyons and desert formations are spectacular! Itās amazing to see what the force of Mother Nature is capable of! This area is a great option if youāre looking for some cool slot canyons without the crowds of more common places like Antelope Canyon or The Narrows. The trail is easily accessible with minimal elevation gain/loss, but you are crossing the creek in multiple areas (during our visit the water was only a couple inches deep and extremely manageable)! The area is located down a dirt road within the Grand StaircaseāEscalante National Monument- the road was relatively well maintained with several Subaru and crossover SUVs parked at the trailhead. Please be aware of the weather as rainfall can quickly cause a dangerous situation if youāre in the slot canyons!
Looking for adventure off the beaten path is always a highlight when we travel, so spending a half day driving and exploring the backcountry below Bryce Canyon was a no brainer. Thankfully, our friend drives a pickup and has lots of experience driving trails, err very rough roads, so we made it back without incident. It was wonderful to look back across the valley to the edge of Bryce Canyon, and see part of the Grand Staircase-Escalante formation that stretches 241 km and includes Zion, Bryce and the Grand Canyons. In fact, the bottom layer of rock at Bryce Canyon is the top layer at Zion, and the bottom layer at Zion is the top layer at the Grand Canyon. They are all part of the Colorado Plateau, a layer cake of sedimentary rock that has been uplifted by tectonic forces over the last 70 million years to elevations reaching up to 3,960 m. As it rose, faults fractured and offset the layers along its edges creating some of the marvels we see today. Our first destination, Grosvenor Arch(photo 3) is a rare and beautiful double arch carved by wind and water high atop a majestic cliff. Well worth the drive out to the middle of nowhere! Our next destination was the Willis Creek Slot Canyon Trail which proved more elusive to find when information entered into Google maps wasnāt specific enoughā¦all part of the adventure and we found another cool spot with hoodoos! Again, well worth the drive to Willis Slot Canyon to hike the riverbed winding through narrow sandstone canyon walls carved by the sometimes raging river. Because the walls here are a harder composition of both Page and Navajo sandstone, and the sand grains are cemented with minerals such as calcite, silica or even iron, a slot canyon is formed rather than a wider riverbed. #coloradoplateau #grandstaircaseescalante #brycecanyon #grosvenorarch #williscreekslotcanyon #utah #landscapephotography #landscape
Hi everyone. I just wanted to give a lil updateā¦I posted last week about being out of the salon as I am on vacation and I am still away till Thursday. I will be able to return messages then. For those who know me, know that I love the outdoors and love to explore and camp off grid. I wanted to share with you some of my adventures this trip so far. Weāve explored some of Nevada, Utah and hope to do a lil bit of the North Rim Grand Canyon in Arizona on our way home. Itās been such a beautiful and adventurous trip and there is so much more I want to explore. I hope you enjoy these pics I share with you. They canāt even do it justice. Itās so much more beautiful in personā¦..

"I survived it, but I don't know how. And it still hurts like hell sometimes." This is your sign to do the thing. Whatever it is. For me, it was leaving. And the past 8 or so months have not been easy. Not for a second. But I did what I had to for me, and people will tell me I was brave or strong, but the truth is - I was neither. I was terrified and I had panic attacks nearly daily because I didn't know how to do it on my own. I'm so thankful I had my girls every step of the way, @nhaspeck @grebnietsadnama - I wouldn't be where I am without you ladies. But at some point, I realized I could rely on myself too. On the woman I was becoming. I could trust her again and she wouldn't fail me like she had so many times. I've grown. I've learned hard lessons. I've changed. I'm nowhere near perfect, and my journey isn't over yet, but I've come this far. This trip to Utah is the scariest thing I've done yet. Is it worth it? YES. But I fought, HARD to make this happen. And I questioned if I could so many times, or if I even should. Walking through this canyon today took my breath away... And made me reflect on just how far I've come. I'm not the girl I was, and never will be again. So this is your sign. Do it scared. Do it crying. Do it stressed out. Do it in the middle of a panic attack. Do it when you don't want to. Do it even though you don't know what comes next. Do the things that put you where you want to be. Where you need to be. The healing journey is not easy, nor kind... But it's worth it. I promise you it is. #BryceCanyon #Utah #WillisCreekSlotCanyon #HorseTrip #GirlsTrip #BestieAppreciation #HorseLove #HorsesOfInstagram #EquineAdventures #ThisIsYourSign #HealingJourney #Vacation
We found a beautiful slot canyon located close by in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument called Willis Creek! We were intrigued by the colors and patterns on the narrow walls, the small waterfalls, hopping the creek back and forth and even the swimming lizards (Sagebrush Lizard) - what a cool little find!!
Day 43 (31/05/2023) - Somewhere on hwy 12 - Hiked Willis Creek Trail today (10km). Only blue sky in the forecast but as I was about to walk back in the canyon, dark clouds were looming over me. More were surrounding the parking lot. Iāll spend the night in Kodachrome SP campground (i donāt want to be on any back road when itās pouring). Plus they have the most amazing showers ever!! . . . #williscreekslotcanyon #exploreutah #hikingutah #utahhiking #utahhikes #utahhikingtrails #roadtriputah #exploremore #liveoutside
