Living in Colorado these past couple of years I've been blessed with many opportunities to do some amazing things. Last March I went on a backpacking trip with a friend and my fiancé to Paria Canyon, in between Utah and Arizona. It was challenging, but beautiful. The trip was about 38 miles, but you were literally wading in a river for almost all of the hike. It took us 3 nights and 4 days and right in the middle of our trip Utah had a crazy wind storm... we definitely felt the wind tunneling through the canyon, picking up the sand to whip our legs.
Here are some of the pictures I took while we were hiking.
Buckskin Gluch, a narrow slot canyon:
Day two in Paria
The sandstone walls of Paria... you can see my fiancé and our friend ahead of me (I was always lagging behind because I was trying to take so many pictures!)
Buckskin Gluch
I think this was also Buckskin Gluch or Paria day one...
Paria day three, the morning after we slept in a cave because of the wind storm. 
A welcome site after 35 miles... signs of civilization
I love this truck, this was at the end of the hike at an abandoned ranch.
