The Enepitsi Trail in Santa Clara Canyon

Thursday, April 30, 2026

I’m going to be spending all of next week in Kanab at a conference for work, so late last week I made kind of a last-minute decision to drive down to Las Vegas a few days before so I could see Architects in concert at the House of Blues on Thursday evening. Then I would be able to spend Friday and the rest of the weekend along the Arizona Strip before driving into Kanab late on Sunday afternoon. Surprisingly, this would be the very first concert in 2026 that I would be attending, although I did have tickets to a local show in February that was cancelled. I left home bright and early on Thursday morning and made my way Southwest across Utah and the Colorado Plateau before dropping down into the Mojave Desert. After grabbing an early lunch in St. George I had some extra time and thought it would be nice to stretch my legs and go for a short hike on the Enepitsi Trail (Ghost Trail) along the Santa Clara River. I’ve already hiked to the nice petroglyphs above on Anasazi Ridge before and was interested in seeing what could be found down below in the Santa Clara Canyon.

Stories on Stone: Rock Art from the Pahranagat Trail

Presidents Day Weekend | Thursday – Monday, February 15-19, 2024

This year for the Presidents Day holiday weekend I decided to take Friday off from work so I could spend four days exploring and searching for rock art along the Pahranagat Trail, which straddles the Mojave Desert and Great Basin Desert in southern Nevada. Just like last year, I invited my friend Jared along and he was up for joining me again. Unfortunately, he was unable to get Friday off from work so we planned to meet up later that night, which meant that I was on my own for Friday. I left from work on Thursday afternoon, headed to St. George where I grabbed a late dinner and then found a spot to camp just over the state line in Arizona. On Friday morning I was up early and on my way into Nevada.
