Lick Wash, Grand Staircase-Escalante - Utah
Posted: Sun May 22, 2011 10:57 pm
This is a lesser-known semi slot canyon in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in southern Utah. Beautiful, scenic and, like most of Southern Utah's best hikes, very remote. The walls of this canyon, at it's deepest point, tower 800 feet above you and are made up of cross-bedded Navajo Sandstone. With gargantuan trees, interesting rock formations and a few petroglyphs, this jaunt makes for a fabulous spring day hike. (summer is quite hot!)
