Solo trip , Hack to Kanab























This was a cool trip. Much needed to, it felt good. I headed out late friday afternoon and made the drive out on the Arizona Strip. It was perfect weather and amazing views. I made camp in Hack Canyon about a quarter mile before it hit Kanab Creek. When the sun came up I climbed on top of the solid red rock mesa above Kanab and headed south towards the Colorado. I hiked for about five hours and saw a lot of incredible country. I found some really cool overhangs looking out over the canyons full of flint and a little potery where the Ancinet Ones had about as sweet as view as one could ask for while they smoked peyote and chipped away on arrows and spears. There is a lot of country to explore down there and I have only seen a small piece of it. The best part is it is pretty damn isolated. People do go but I have never seen a soul. With the 21 mile drive on the Toraweap road and then the nine mile drive down the ass kicking Hack road ,plus the hike down hack though basically flat , not easy. It is all in a dry rocky river bed and you can feel it. So it keeps a lot of shit heads out. Obviously not all though.
