Every time that Rosey and I drive down to Moab we stop at a gas station just south of Price. A side road leading away from the gas station and highway six is labeled "Nine Mile Canyon". For years, I've thought to myself, "Someday, I'm going to check out that road". Well several weekends ago when Rosey and I were looking for some way to occupy ourselves on a Saturday afternoon, I said, "Let's check out Nine Mile Canyon".
We've been there several times now and have discovered that it's a really interesting area. It's a mix of red rock and sandstone, canyons and mountains, desert and alpine flora. Really it's a pretty cool place that doesn't seem to be very well traveled by many people. I think that this is exactly what Rosey loves about it :)
On our most recent trip down there, we saw a wash that came up to the side of the road which originated in a canyon in the distance. It didn't really look like a hiking trail but we decided to take it anyway. Our adventurous spirit was rewarded with a spectacular hike through an ice covered sandstone canyon. Way Cool!
And yes, I probably should go to bad husband hell for taking my pregnant wife on a hike like this. But the great thing about Rosey is that she wouldn't have it any other way :)

Next time you go on this trail, little Sara will be your passenger.
How wonderful is that !
Like your "bad husband hell" comment!
Way to go, Rosey.
You will have to take us on that one next time we come over....
