After Alene's half of a half-marathon today, we headed up to Hunter Canyon, which is a canyon off the Colorado river south west of Moab. It really was a beautiful canyon and I'd love to go back and explore more of it.
We did not hike back too far. We stopped at the first large arch you can see. It reminded me of Druid Arch in Canyonlands National Park.
Here are some pictures:

Druid-looking arch (couldn't really get a good angle on it)
If it was summer time in Moab, we would be swimming in this
Bailey did a lot of hiking, so she was pretty tired

Lastly, on the road in there are some weird looking homesteads built into the sides of the rock walls along the roads.
I thought this one was the coolest because there was a rope going up to the cave with a chair inside.

What a nice trip! Beautiful canyon. I think I know the way up there (I recognize those rock-wall-homesteads)--looks like it's on the way to Moonflower Canyon and Birthing Rock.
Yeah, you just leave Moab on the Kane Creek access road and head West/SW. It becomes dirt eventually and Hunters Canyon is down there a ways. Beautiful scenery coming in. Lot's of OHV's along the road. Very annoying that they don't have the courtesy to slow down when there are people walking around (especially with babies). I'm not entirely against them, but I hate rude people or those that don't respect the land with them.
