Permits are mandatory. Only 64 people/day. Apply 4 months early or enter the day-before lottery in Kanab/Page. Visit BLM for info.
🚫 No permit = No Wave.

Start early. Like, 6:30AM early. The sand radiates heat and by 11AM it’s 90Β° and rising from below you.

Morning hike in the Superstition Mountains! Somewhere in this cliffside is an old mine. That’ll be an adventure for another time!

Ok, last photo from the Ruby Crest Trail in Nevada. This beautiful lake is Overland Lake. It is a glacial tarn which was formed when a glacier hollowed out a bowl in the side of the mountain. Such a beautiful area πŸ¦‹

For #WaterfallWednesday here is Dear Creek Falls in Grand Canyon.

For geologists, you can see the creek has almost finished cutting through the Tapeats sandstone that overlies the Vishnu schist at the Great Unconformity.

South Coyote Buttes putting on a show here with some odd looking shapes. Still can't figure out how just wind, rain and sand made these.

Here's a photo from forever ago. This lunar eclipse or blood moon was a great chance to capture the iconic Shiprock formation in New Mexico. I remember returning from this outing (a long early drive at 3 AM) to find IG flooded with fake blood moon composites. It motivated me to write A LOT.

For #RockinTuesday let’s look at the Waterpocket Fold in Utah. This Fold is a warp in the earth’s crust that is 100 miles long. Have I ever thought about hiking its length? umm, yes.

Because I only have 300 characters, here is a more detailed explanation on the NPS site: www.nps.gov/care/learn/n...

Dacite Cliff Mine (Bat Cave) An off-trail mine is located alongside the Superstition Mountains, in plain sight of passing traffic. The Dacite Mine, or The Bat Cave, is more well-known than some mines; however, it gets very little traffic. The bats that give the mine its nickname are year-round guests. History of the Dacite MineThere isn't much information about the Dacite Mine; it seems lost in time. Like most mines in the Superstition Mountains, it was carved in the everlasting search for gold. The name Dacite is due to th

The Dacite Mine is located in the Superstition Mountains. It is a beautiful hike. If you’re in Arizona, I highly recommend making the journey to explore history and the desert landscape! #AZSR
