Providence Canyon



It was a beautiful and warm Saturday and we took the opportunity to hike Providence Canyon. We are planning a big hiking trip to Utah this summer so this is the beginning of our "training" of sorts. We hiked down in the canyon and around it, walking about 5-6 miles. About 5 years ago, we hiked the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon and Zion with very little training and we did a decent job and had fun. Fast forward back 5 years and we are fatter and a lot less fitter than we were back then so some training will help us enjoy the trip more. Anyway, Providence Canyon was interesting but fact to note, it was created by a man made irrigation disaster. I am exhausted and really need to start exercising again. The picture above is obviously the canyon, the one below is of an abandoned automobile left from a homestead that was in the canyon lands. It has become part of the environment and used by trees, animals, and organism that the park decided it was best to leave it there.
