First days in Utah; actually we were only trying to win a rare permit for the famous “Wave” in North Coyote Buttes, but on the other hand a great area to explore some slot canyons as well. So a short pre-warning at this stage; you will only see slot canyons […]

Leaving New Mexico we unfortunately were driving right into the bad weather. Bad luck, but let’s not complain about it. With two rainy days since Christmas we are rather on the lucky side. 🙂 However approaching Canyon the Chelly National Monument is not as impressive as it might be. Canyon […]
Originally we planned to head back to Arizona after visiting the Very Large Array, but we came across some marks on our planning map we decided to still check out. El Malpais National Monument Unfortunately one of the trails we wanted to explore was closed due to snow and bad […]
