Backpacking - Dark Canyon

Dark Canyon is located near Lake Powell. We backpacked in and slept in a huge cave in the side of the mountain. We passed scorpions, rattlesnakes, and slept with bats. We spent 5 days exploring, cliff jumping, and climbing.

We stopped at Goblin Valley on the way

Me and Gabe are near the top of the hike down in to the canyon.

Way cool landscape to explore and monkey around




We caught and ate a rattlesnake

Best part- insane cliff jumping

Field Trip

Here are some more (less disturbing pictures) from the field trip. We had Scales and Tails Utah come. The show was awesome! Our entertainer was Jeremy and he did a great job. It was the first time I was in a room with snakes and didn't have an anxiety attack (except for when Crew went to put the snake in his mouth). The Kids LOVED it! I highly recommend them! the link to their website is http://www.scalesandtailsutah.com

(click on the pictures to enlarge them so you can see the detail better)

"Peaches" the Boa. This was one of the favorites

Taking "Bug" for a walk

Lizard race with "Sausage and Crikey" The kids tickled the tails to get them to move. Crikey won.

FEED ME

Crew is obsessed with tasting EVERYTHING within reach. I once found him licking the side of the toilet bowl. Another time he was licking the wall socket. Today takes the cake. Crew got to go on Sadie's field trip and see reptiles up close and personal. Lizards, snakes, and dragons were freely roaming the room for kids to touch and explore. This friendly 5 foot red snake crawled over Crew's lap and before I could stop he picked him up and took a nibble. See picture.
