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.

Death Valley Trip 2013 | Day 1
Saturday, February 9, 2013

It’s been an unusually long and cold winter this year in Grand Junction. That’s why I’m glad I started planning my first trip to Death Valley a few months earlier. It would be nice to get out hiking and camping in temperatures that were a bit warmer than back at home. Though my main destination on this week-long trip would be Death Valley, I planned on spending the first weekend exploring a few locations in Nevada. On Saturday morning I left home bright and early and started my drive west.
