June 2001 we journeyed to Oklahoma City to receive Sir Wrangler's Hall of Fame Award. Joe, Jan and Linze traveled with their horses and rode along the way. Courtesy of the Internet, they found Paria Canyon Adventure Ranch (www.pariacampground.com) in southern Utah. This is the Grand Staircase area of the Escalante National Monument. The owner, Easton Tolley, and his wrangler, Doug Narrigon, were gracious hosts. Being such a small world, it turned out Jan had worked with Doug's daughter in Seattle! Doug's wife even had the Sir Wrangler Breyer! So, we were taken on the ride of our lifetime. The area is a mixture of soft dirt, red and orange painted cliffs and deep ravines. It seemed we arrived in the middle of their monsoon season where there are torrential downpours and lightning every day for the month! Doug explained in this footing, quicksand is common, so follow in a single file! Then he proceeded to follow his dog, Bear! Thankful for our breastcollars, we climbed to a magnificent view on "Narrigon's Knob" (christened by Jan). Couldn't stay long as the black thunderclouds were coming fast! We followed a riverbed of wide proportions wondering about quicksand and flashfloods. Arrived back in camp pelted by rain and proceeded to watch a humbling lightning storm. Our impression was that this country
constantly changed and could never be controlled! Need to
spend more time here, highly recommend the visit. Horses can be
rented from Easton if you don't bring your own. Page, Arizona
and the start of Lake Powell is not far. |
