Back to Utah...and where to go? Let's try the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument (GSENM) -- a vast expanse of nearly 1.9 million acres of high, rugged and remote plateaus with bold and multi-hued cliffs. Everything but people and paved roads and services. So...we set out to do "dispersed camping". The rules are simple: don't drive off pre-existing gravel or rock roads, camp in existing disturbed areas, and leave no trace (pack it in, pack it out). Sort of like back packing but a whole lot easier on the legs!
We found a spot north east of Kanab, and settled in for a warmer, but still breezy night. Then we hiked up Lick Wash before finding another spot along Timber Mountain Road. It was great! We plan on more time in the Monument as we move east.

| Lick Wash...rocks and sky. Thankfully no water (like in flash floods) |
