View of the canyon wall we will hike up, hiking along the River Trail
wide angle shot of the Colorado River along the River Trail looking toward the Echo Cliffs
Beautiful views of the canyon walls.
Soon, the Spencer Trail breaks off and climbs the canyon wall in a series of switchbacks
The trail climbs and climbs
Wide angle shot part way up the Spencer Trail, showing the Colorado River makes a horseshoe bend around Echo Cliffs
Interesting iron deposits in the rocks
Looking southwest up the Paria Canyon
Nearing the top of the canyon wall/plateau
View from the top: looking north along the canyon carver by the Colorado River
We enjoyed this hike with it's constant views!
As we hiked back down the trail we looked back up, to where we think we had our lunch break
Some of the wildflowers and blooms we saw today:
