    Default Providence Canyon Utah 7-10-10

    so me and some people off of naxja went out to a local canyon on my b-day.
    this canyon is a great canyon that has something for everyone. to get to the top you can go through 4 different canyons in the valley ranging from mild rock roads to graded roads and then through prov with is the harder rocker part, that is what we went up for this trip. they all lead to the same place with is nice.

    so we meet at a local grocery store @ 8:45 and left to the canyon @ 9:30 sharp. we had a pretty good turn out we had 7 rigs 6 xjs and a 4 door taco.

    i will not be really posting the pics any any real order so you will see some from the lower part of the trail that is called the quarry/mini Rubicon then all the way to the tower. i have some really good pics of the mountains for the people that do not know what a mountain is.


    ok to start it off hear is the lower part of the trail, what is cool about this canyon is it changes every year from the run off, this was not this big last year, now that hole is about 5 feet deep.



    these next few is what we call the "mini Rubicon"







    now on to the canyon, it is a narrow canyon pretty much all the way to the top.









    This is the view looking down the canyon about 3/4 of the way up..





    Still just a little of now of the ridges..


    This is what you get from the run off a lake right next to the trail, later next month this will be gone.



    Ah the end is in site, at this point we had been on the trail for about 3 hours.



    This hear is what we call the rodeo grounds it is just below the towers, the mountain you see in the back ground is what we call the west face, in the winter it is a crazy steep hill to climb on the sled. lots of people die every year it slides in the winter about once a week. but we still climb it for some reason.





    That road you see down their is the rodeo grounds still climbing.



    Finally we made it to the top. we went down the back side to flat ground to have lunch.



    Here is how Logan looks from up on top of Mount Logan.
    as you can see it is nice where i live mountains every where.



    Remember that snow up on the ridge?





    In this one you can see the part of the valley that i live in, but from up hear it all looks the same.



    Now we start to head down, here you are looking down into Logan canyon.





    Now back to the quarry looking down out of providence canyon. we went to one of the 4 water falls to look around and search for old fossils.
    at this point some of the people had left us since they had a two hour drive back to the big city.









    Ok all done i will leave you with the best shot of the day. i love this canyon so much it is nice to have this to go too especially this water fall. i asked my wife to marry me at this water fall, what she likes water falls.
    SO what do you guys think? sorry it was so long.

    Steve, did they ever reopen the canyon? I see it has been quite a while since you posted this. That is the problem with the government they close something temporarily and it ends up being a permanent closure. Thanks

    The canyon is open. Another, ahem, xj group is headed on a run up there in mid July.
