Island In The Sky (Nov 2007)

In Snow Canyon State Park, there is a secret pictograph panel that guards the Island-In-The Sky, which is a massive 600 foot tall sky island made of red slickrock. This is a tough hike/scramble in order to negotiate the summit, as well as traversing across the maze of stone, but it has its rewards. Sasha really enjoyed this hike.





The Shaman Wizard with his magic powers--he protects the park.

Near the summit is a deep chasm. Once you descend a dangerously steep, winding, redrock staircase, you find the chamber leading to the sky island's red heart!
