Little Oak Canyon

Saturday, April 19th. It was a quiet night in our tiny little box canyon last night. Chilly, (45F) but my Webasto heater keeps C-Traveler warm! Today was a nice day. Sunny, not much wind, and 64 I believe. Perfect hiking weather! We explored Cathedral Canyon, and then Forbidding Canyon, which forks off to Bridge Canyon and Rainbow Natural Bridge. We tied up to the docks at the trail head for Rainbow Natural Bridge, had lunch, and then hiked the mile and a half up to the Arch. When we first arrived at the docks, we ran into a group of hikers that had come from the other side of Navajo Mountain. They had started their back country trip last Friday, and arrived here today, and were waiting for the tour boat that would then take them to Wahweap. (The tour boat was there when we returned to our boats. It comes in and then stays for a couple hours, bringing passengers to hike up and back to Rainbow.) They had quite a few questions about our boats and travels. And I think happy to know that they had some other options if their tour boat didn’t arrive. Lol! After returning to our boats, we explored the rest of Forbidding Canyon, before heading to Little Oak Canyon, (which actually looks more like a bay with a lot of little islands), where we are anchored/shore tied for the night. Mike and Bill used their Kaboats then to go explore Oak Secret Canyon.Læs mere
