OUR FAMILY VISITED THIS PARK DURING A SUMMER WHEN WE TOOK TWO WEEKS OFF AND WENT TO ABOUT SIX NATIONAL PARKS THROUGHOUT THE WEST. IT HAD A PLACE TO PARK YOUR VEHICLE AND THEN THEY REQUIRE YOU TO CATCH A BUS TO GO TO THE TRAILS AND ATTRACTIONS. THE PART OF THE PARK WE VISITED WAS IN A NARROW AND STEEP CANYON OF SANDSTONE WITH RED, PINK, AND BLACK HUES.
I REMEMBER CATCHING THE BUS AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS AND HIKING ALONG TRAILS THAT WOVE UP AND AROUND THE THE CANYON LANDS AND THROUGH SOME MAN MADE TUNNELS. WE SAW SOME SNAKES AND SOME DEER HERE. OUR SON WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND TOOK A LOT OF MOVIES OF THE CANYON, NARRATING AS HE SHOT THE FOOTAGE.
THE PARK TRAILS HAD A NUMBER OF BRIDGES OVER THE SMALL DRAINAGE THAT RUNS THROUGH THIS CANYON. THE COLORS OF THE CLIFFS ARE MAGICAL. I DON'T REMEMBER CAMPING HERE, BUT I'M SURE YOU CAN.
I REMEMBER A NEAT TOWN NEARBY THE PARK THAT LOOKED LIKE IT COULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE TV SHOW CALLED GUNSMOKE. WE TOURED THE TOWN A LITTLE CHECKING OUT SOME OF THE SCENERY.
