I finally got to see what everyone’s talking about. Escalante really does rule, hard. The first time I went there, the dog got bit by a rattlesnake as soon as we got out of the car, and we had to get right back in it and drive all the way back home. We also hadn’t yet reached the ridge that opens into one of the most beautiful vistas I have ever seen. So this weekend, when that view finally presented itself, and the snakes were still busy hibernating for winter, Haley and I enjoyed what is hopefully the first of many glorious, snake-free weekends in the canyons of the Escalante. We joined our friends Becky, Jane, Jeremy, Steve, and Abby for camping and hiking to Calf Creek Falls, the classic Escalante destination.
PS: I’m fairly certain that Boulder, Utah, population 180, is heaven on Earth.
