Escalante Utah Amazing Arch

Only 10 easy scenic miles from Escalante, Utah to visit the colossal Cedar Wash Arch. It's a casual walk to view the arch east to west from where you can park your car.

Cedar Wash Arch 

We discovered swirly gold, grey and white sandstone surrounding Cedar Wash Arch as we explored the many angles to this unassuming arch. Finding a route off the slick rock was an adventure.

Delighted and surprised we found other unusual slick rock formations on our way to viewing Cedar Arch west to east. Amazing, the power of water shaping rock into these unique structures.

Slots of Fun

Ever want to keep a secret to yourself? Part of you wants to share this clandestine canyon with friends, giving them the gift of experiencing a pristine, spectacular hike through narrow & slot canyons, with an arch to boot. Another part of me is warning to keep quiet, let this one canyon remain unspoiled by humans & cows.

I'll compromise by giving clues as to the location: We bush-whacked through throngs of Tamarisks. Its off Hole-in-the-Rock road. Red rock is not always lonely.

You may not find what I'm calling "Anvil & Arch" canyon but you may find your own secretive canyon hike. After all, there are millions of acres of wilderness to explore here in Escalante, Utah.

1st Youtube video

There are millions of possibilities out-there, but I did finish this promotional video for our nightly rental after downloading iLife software for editing movies. Previously, I had tons of footage but not able to string together clips or even find my projects after changes. Having a script helps but knowing the where, the settings, is more important, albeit this video is my first and certainly not my last. I wish my feedback on this 1st project only include what worked. Writing and making videos is like showing yourself with your pants down. Please don't tell me about my blemishes, say something about "nice ass." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjZTM2sGJro
