Hi guys,
This was taken a few months back at Capitol Reef along the Cottonwood Wash trail. I really did not know what to expect as we made our way up this canyon. My wife and I were bloody, bruised, and completely soaked from flooded out sections of the canyon (which smelled horrible and was filled with dead mice and bugs). Probably one of the toughest hikes we had done in a while. After about an hour of hiking, we came upon this really wonderful chokestone that had become lodged between the canyon walls. For some scale, I'd say it's roughly 25 feet high.
It just felt so symbolic that one of the first things I said was that we reached the heart of the canyon. The lines and twists of the surrounding canyon walls just looked to be flowing out of the stone. We returned here about 2 weeks later and did this hike again, making our way past the stone this time only to be stopped by the next flooded slot canyon where the water was close to 10 feet deep. This trail is probably one of my top 5 of all time and I highly recommend it if you ever visit Capitol Reef.
Have a great day friends.
Jordan
