Lower Hackberry Canyon

















The first of two hikes that we did on Easter Sunday was Lower Hackberry Canyon.  Similar to the Escalante River hike, this one would be mostly flat.  It turned out to be a very enjoyable hike, as the floor of the canyon had a steady flow of water and the stream bed was almost entirely sand.  The water depth averaged around 2 to 3 inches, so I actually decided to do most of the walk barefoot.  The sand and water felt great on my feet and were a welcome change to the hot, dry hikes that we've been doing up to this point.  An added bonus was that we got to hear several Canyon Wrens singing as we made our way up and down the canyon!
