Hole in the Rock and Register Rock

Easter Sunday, April 20. Happy Easter. As I explore the desert canyons here, I think of Jesus and his disciples as they trekked through the holy lands. And I also wonder what this area looked like before the dam was built and flooded the canyons. I think of the settlers that traveled down Hole in the Rock and what life had to be like for them. This morning, Bill and Mike did some exploring with their Kaboats before we departed to explore the next couple of canyons. Anasazi Canyon (the longest one for today), Music Temple Canyon, Cottonwood Canyon, and then a small unnamed canyon that had a window arch and for my fellow Star Wars fans, a sand shark! Lol. Also came across an old sunken boat about 50’ above the water level. While Little Joe and Mystery Girl then headed into the Register Rock area, I crossed over to take a look at Hole in the Rock. Hard to visualize the settlers bringing their livestock and wagons down that steep ravine! Entering the Register Rock area, with a clear view of Navajo Mountain, I was able to catch up with Rosanne and the internet. We ended up stopping at a beach just behind another canyon wall that blocked any cell signal from Navajo Mountain tower. Probably just as well. Read more
