this is called angels landing - the hike goes up that narrow face - they have chains in many areas to make it easier. When i looked over the cliff a little more I saw some specks on this rock face - see next picture.....

on the vertical face of the rock in the previous picture I happened to see a few campers - they had spent the night at that spot - probably 400-500 feet from the valley floor

Looking straight up from a slot canyon

i really was there!

Fortunately this print on the trail was only from a black bear (you can tell by how close the claw marks are to the foot)

Ma was hoping to see a fox and we did!

We saw some sandhill cranes outside the park

Bighorn Sheep

Me and ma were hiding behind the car about 50 feet away
