With Colorado wrapped up, we head back to Utah to set up for adventure in the Goblin Valley area. But as plans like to change, they do just that. What turns out to be a failed morning, turns into a surprise discovery and exploration.
Oh, Colorado National Monument... we miss you already! But we've got places to be and adventures to have. Like Rattlesnake Arches! Maybe... Possibly. Or not as some mapping led us astray.
Heartbroken but determined we quickly figure out a substitute adventure for later on and make the drive back to Utah to set up camp at Goblin Valley Campground - our home base for the next couple days.
And wouldn't you know it... Our ability to change plans on the fly gets tested again. Armed with the advice of a park employee, we get in the truck and take an offroad adventure down Behind the Reef Road to something called the Chute Canyon Trail once hearing the words "slot canyon". Will it live up? See for yourself!
The next day we take care of some business in Hanksville, Utah, film a few other videos you will see in the next couple of weeks, and find some surprises behind our campground yurt.
