Day 8 - Kanab Creek |
||||||
|
Heading south, before the Grand Canyon there is the Kanab Creek Wilderness Area. From the chart, it looks to me like a northern protrusion of the Grand Canyon, but the important thing is that it falls outside of the special rules airspace. In other words, I don't have to be on oxygen to fly over it. So I headed south and soon a canyon began to emerge. |

A very nice-looking canyon.
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| Getting bigger. | ||||||
 |

|
|

 |
||||||
 |
||||||
| Yep, this was well worth my time. | ||||||
 |
||||||
| It's pretty amazing how flat it can be above the rim. | ||||||
 |
||||||
|
|

 |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
|
||||||
 |
||||||
| The special use airspace begins up ahead somewhere in that big valley. Fortunately I was able to see it on the GPS and stay out of it. | ||||||

 |
||||||
| Leaving the Kanab Creek canyon I turned north and flew parallel to the Grand Canyon -- off my right wingtip -- over the flat, tree-covered Kaibob plateau. | ||||||
