WE GOT LUCKY! We won a permit for the daily lottery to hike the Wave. This may have been the highlight of this trip. The uniformity of the twisted and curved rock in this area is remarkable. Just as much fun was the hike to get there, about 3 miles over the desert, using landmarks and Gaia GPS to navigate.

A few weeks ago, in mid April, I did a short trip to the canyon deserts of the southwest along the border between northern Arizona and southern Utah. Our first stop was a very short slot canyon known as Peekaboo or Red Canyon Slot. The slot canyon itself is very short, about 1/4 to 1/2 mile long before you reach a dead end at a dry waterfall. We spent several hours exploring the nuances of the light and shapes of the canyon.
