Little Wildhorse Canyon

We left Moab today and headed to Torrey for a couple of days in Capitol Reef National Park. On the way we stopped for a hike into Little Wild Horse Canyon, just outside of Goblin Valley State Park. This is a slot canyon. It’s not the narrowest (I didn’t have to take my day pack off), nor the most colorful, slot canyon I’ve hiked in, but it’s certainly the longest. And, it’s an easy one for the kids to navigate—only one easily bypassed dryfall.

The kids are doing great—we’ve been hiking 5 or 6 miles every day. CR (the four year-old) is having some asthma issues at night, perhaps because of the altitude and/or dry air, but he charged through the whole canyon, exploring every nook, cranny, and alcove.
