Hikes in Utah…
During Memorial Day Weekend, I held waiting for mechanical work on VivaLaVida discovering some surrounding canyons.
1. Going up Mill Creek canyon in a rainy day…
2. … I discover this pretty small waterfall.
3. Higher in the canyon, is a cave whose traces of soot on the vault attest that it served as a shelter for Indian people years ago.
4. The next day I went discover the Negro Bill Canyon, renamed since with an unpronounceable name for “political correctness” reasons. The unusually wet spring in this region provides more water and greenery than it’s common here.
5. Arriving near Morning Glory Arch.
6. It’s a place where tourists offer some thrills rapelling from about 120 feet.
7. There is quite some air with a second portion away from the overhanging cliff.
8. Giant arch.
9. Hiking higher in Negro Bill Canyon, widely flowery.
10. Cacti offer many yellow ar roses flowers.
11. Small waterfall down the cliffs.
12. This one looks like a lys…
13. Not far from the mouth of the canyon, water runs on the sandstone.
14. The place is wild and desert despite the crowds of Memorial Day.
15. Last compo before going back to VLV and heading to Salt Lake City to do the work on VLV.
To be followed soon. 😀

Im ready to dive into those pools.. I second Mike’s inquiry .. thanks !
I’d imagine the night’s to be crystal clear..
What kind of servicing is Vida in for ? Best of all to you !
Thanks Canyon. Nights weren’t that clear, there are quite a lot of cloudy days actually.
The work we’ve to be done on VLV is a relocation of the new oil cooler installed to better clear the trany oil cooler which get to high temp. It’s not that complicate but needs somebody who can do custom work. Have an appointment tomorrow morning for that to be done.
Great pictures Claude! Where is Mill Creek Canyon?
Mike
Thanks Mike. Mill Creek is the small creek crossing Moab. It flows from a canyon right next to town on East. They are two forks, this one is the South one.
