Slick Rock Trail I

Location: Utah, Canyonlands National Park, Needles
At 9AM I was already 5 miles up the trail at a magnificent overlook. I surveyed the surroundings and descended to this rock ledge to paint in the shade of a large boulder. The rock cairn was typical – grabbing the hiker’s attention and then compelling him/her to look for the next one. In fact, I wondered how the trail could continue through these towering sandstone cliffs.
