Horseshoe Canyon Hike

 On UEA weekend, the Tony family invited us to go see some pictographs in Horseshoe Canyon located in Canyonlands National Park.  The hike was around 7 miles out and back.  It goes down into a sweet looking canyon with pictographs in most areas.

 This one means "Holy Ghost"  and this one is very big.
 Most of the hike was on a sandy wash and was fun to walk on it through the canyon.  The hike up back from down the canyon was a 700 vertical foot climb and was it a good workout.  The hike took about 5 hours.  It was great fun!  My parents came but they only hiked a couple miles.  We still had fun.  We had Stan's Burgers in Hanksville afterwards.
 More pictographs.

 It was great to hike and see this stuff!
This guy stole my nephew's trail mix while we were sitting looking at some pictographs, now I got a picture of him and I can report it.  Ha ha.  Well, we were taking about he probably needed it worse than we did.

Fun hike, neat stuff to see. I guess our kids didn't like the hiking as much as other hikes "too much sand" and "too boring", but they liked the pictographs.:)

Yeah, I guess we'll have to do ding and dang next time.
