We needed to get away so bad after the "Wonderful Winter" we have had so we started looking for a place to go, it just so happens that Ray and my Mom found the same place Little Wild Horse Canyon
It was so much fun the slots are VERY tiny in some place and we really did have to climb the wall for people to pass.. ha ha let me tell you how fun that was. I guess it can have a lot of water in it at times but the book also tells you that if you see lots of cars in the lot don't worry you will lose them all in the canyon... Well we didn't and for part of the time I really thought I was standing in a line at Disneyland. There was a ton of people there, how this has stayed such a secret to our family with all the knowledge of Jess and Brandon I will never know.
This just kind of shows you what you have to go through and how tight it can get inside here.
This is the best canyon we have been in. I think it would be fun with a little water in the bottom because there really is places that you have to climb up high and hang on so the 30 other people trying to come down the canyon can.
We had so much fun making the people wanting to pass us wait while we got perfect pictures..
Most of the canyon is no more than 3 feet across and for a big part of it you can not see what is in front of you
it really was a lot of fun and we would love to plan a trip with the family to go explore This beautiful place.
After leaving Green River early Sunday Morning we couldn't decide what to do it was still early and we were not ready to go home so I said I want to try to get to Delicate just one more time before I know I can't do it anymore I am getting old you know.. :-( So we set out to Delicate and the winds decided that they were going to follow us. I'm sure they thought we would not make it either Guess what????????? WE DID IT.!
Ray Me Mom and Dad all made it to the top in 1 hr...
The whole hike the wind was blowing but it helped us.
For the 4 handicapped people that we are, bypass surgeries , hip surgery, many stomach surgeries , heel pain, pneumonia, and other various sickness' we were SO proud of ourselves
I am sure at times the wind was blowing at least 50 MPH. This picture if goofy because it is our self portrait thanks to Rays long arms. It was so much fun and we are so thankful for the time we get to spend with my Mom and Dad. Thanks guys we love you and we miss Miss Missy............. (aka the GPS she tells you where and when to go)

We really did have a good time, in spite of the wind.
I am still stiff from lifting my self up the rocks in the slot canyon. Great place would love to do it again. Thanks for the good time.
How fun! It looks like you guys had such a great time. I admire you guys for having the energy and the willingness to do all that!
Are you going to keep that canyon a secret? It looks like a fun one. I would like to know where it's at. I'm really glad that you all made it to Delicate. I know your Dad really wanted to do it again.
That is awesome!! I want to go there! You have to tell us where it is at:)
Helen, I would never keep it a secret from you. I even said while we were there, even Helen would do this, it is kind of fun in a walk sort of way.. You go almost to Goblin Valley but turn off before you enter the park.
Whaaattt?!?!?! WHERE IS THIS CANYON?!?!?! I would love to stop there with my kids on our way to Sp. Fork this summer!
I have the BEST memories of our family excursions growing up! We are so blessed to have such a close and fun family!!!
Good job on Delicate!...It is VERY impressive that a bunch of handicaps can make it!! :) Love you all!!!
Sounds like your trip was great! That canyon you discovered looks awsome of course when you said that it was only 3 feet wide in most spots I realized that I probably wouldn't fit so oh well! The pictures are great though! way to go on making it up to delicate too!
Hey guys! We actually hike Little Wild Horse Canyon when I was pregnant with Abby. I was so sick,
however, that it took a few years before I could even say the words Little Wild Horse Canyon (or Goblin Valley). It is a really beautiful canyon and it would be fun for us all to go down there.
Oh my gosh, I can't remember a time I've been more jealous. I MISS UTAH!!! Why do you guys get to have all the fun. Missouri sucks!!!!
You live right around the corner and I never knew the Sain's were such outdoors enthusiasts. Guess I better get to know my neighbors better!!!
