Out of my hike in the slot canyons, I saw a sign “Muddy Creek”. I thus followed the trail south and had the good surprise to find a quite large area of “bentonite”, this kind of clay that I also found at the Painted Hill in Oregon.
 
 
1. Bentonite Hills and Henry Mountains in the distance.
 

 
 
2. Nice colors in front of San Rafael Reef.
 

 
 
3. Valley…
 

 
 
4. Sweetness…
 

 
 
5. I vary the compositions in this sensual landscape…
 

 
 
6. VivaLaVida having fun on that beautiful trail!
 

 
 
7. Muddy Creek, at the end of the trail.
 

 
 
8. Ride over the Bentonite. 😉
 

 
 
9. I slept near an abandoned ranch and discovered this carcass at nightfall.
 

 
 
10. She too has beautiful sensual forms, isn’t it? 😀
 

 
 
11. The next morning I went up towards a small arch and saw this pothole on my sundstone path.
 

 
 
12. Here is Wild Horse Window.
 

 
 
13. The window is nice! 😀
 

 
 
14. Guess who created this double cave? Yes, that’s it, that little spring that seeps from the bottom of the two caves, giving life to some ferns…
 

 
 
15. Almost a makeup eye…
 

 
 
16. By late afternoon, towards a high plateau at almost 7,000 feet elevationl to a camp near another slot canyon.
 

 
 
17. Upper Reds Canyon cliffs in Sunset light.
 

 
 
Another dive in a slot canyon to come soon! 😀
