Cottonwood Canyon Rd

Still beaming from our wonderful day at Bryce, we headed down towards the Utah/Arizona border, and the town of Kanab, UT. We took the more adventurous route, down Cottonwood Canyon Rd, after getting beta that the dirt road through the vast sagebrush steppe was passable in our Outback. The road, in fact, was pretty tame, but Tom tends to be a bit nervous heading into remote environs when it's not in our wheelhouse (i.e., which the desert certainly is not). Along the way, we stopped by Grosvenor Arch for a few minutes ... pretty massive. We also hiked in Cottonwood Narrows for a couple hours. After about 10 minutes or so, we realized we were headed up the canyon instead of down, but quickly corrected course and had an enjoyable time. Some nice rock colors, and the surrounding walls provided welcome shade.
