After my last meeting, I quickly donned my shorts and shoes and was out the door. From Angel Village at the Sanctuary I followed the County road to where it dips down towards Kanab Creek (just after Angels Rest, the pet cemetery). From there, I jumped into the creek and began to run upstream.
There is one section of nice narrows, lots of tamarisk, and once you top out, wide-open terrain with a variety of jeep tracks providing a diverse selection of slick rock, sand, and cobble. You can choose to run in the creek or along jeep tracks depending on your fancy.
After an hour out I turned around, anxious to get back and celebrate the day by sitting in the creek and enjoying a couple of barley pops. This is the first day I have been warm in almost 6 months and I cherished the sun on my skin and the cool water on my legs. An excellent little run and recommended for anyone visiting the Sanctuary or passing through Kanab.
Next run - R2R2R on Friday. Can't wait....
Thank you for visiting Kane County, UT and Best Friends!

I'm not sure which picture is more appealing- the ice cold barley pop or the dude with his shirt off.

ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know who the guy with the yellow bandana is ? He looks just like me. I've never in my life seen a more striking similarity in skin, face, & build. It's almost looking at myself or a body double.
