Coral Pink Sand Dunes - Plus Win's Arch
We headed out to find Win's Arch today. Its great! We picked up a bunch of trash around --- very sad that so many just trash an area. It's located outside the park, just off the dunes entrance (Hancock) that is closest to Kanab.
Then we headed into the park and hiked to the top of the 3 big dunes --- then went to check out Hog Canyon. An ATV area near Kanab.
I won't write up a trip report for this day, but will add some info and photos to 2 of my websites from the day. Actually I will add a trip report to the arch. Have a name yet Win?

Nice, Tanya! I've never named it, just too difficult to think of something catchy. I was out there on Saturday and actually picked up some junk in front of the large Hoodoo. I've got to throw a few trash bags in the Jeep.
Hog Canyon is pretty neat, I've done the trail in my Jeep and it wasn't easy.
On a side note. Gosh. there are a lot of eagles on the East side! I think I counted 8, between Coral Pink and the East Zion entrance.

There is only one BLM patrol for a huge area. I think the same one that patrols the dunes area patrols up on Canaan Mountain where we hauled out all that trash. At Hog Canyon there was a bunch of trash all over the place too.

I would not consider myself to be an "environmentalist" but it really does upset me when people do not take care of the environment. I went out to Utah lake a couple of weeks ago and I found a pile of 10 computers on the ice. Someone brought them out to the lake and burned them on the ice and left them. It took me about 15 mins. to clean up their mess but if I didn't get the computers off the ice they would have been in the lake bed when the ice melted. I just don't understand why people can not take care of their own mess. I understand that sometimes people leave something behind by mistake and I do not mind picking up after them (I know I have done that too). I just do not understand how you consciously leave a big mess for someone else to deal with.

Nice shots, Tanya, especially the atv photo. I will never understand the people who feel free to trash our land in any location. Happens a lot here in FL. Good ole boys throw loose trash in the back of the ole pickup and speed away...litter flying behind.

01-31-2007, 07:56 AM #20I guess in some people's eyes, when you're tagged an "Environmentalist" it's like you are involved with the extremists of the bunch.
Anyway, shame on whomever left all that trash.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.
