# Lick Wash - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/lick-wash/ - Published: 2025-04-27T06:35:47-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout **Out in the wild and expansive Grande Escalante National Monument**, along a single dirt road, starting outside Kanab, Utah. I’m looking for a particular slot canyon to explore but if I find some just as interesting I can easily change my plans. This is how I stumbled upon a lone sign for the Lick Wash trailhead. At first I thought this might be the slot canyon I was looking for. I didn’t have any cell service to confirm this. I saddled up the backpack, check my water levels, take one last look at the skies above me, then head on out into the desert…. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GPTempDownload- 8.jpg?resize=640%2C560&ssl=1) **It didn’t take me long** to be fully submersed in the slot canyon as the walls closed in. Quiet stillness was everywhere, i don’t think that my shoes made a sound as I went deeper down the canyon. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/GPTempDownload- 2.jpg?resize=640%2C560&ssl=1) **Lick Wash trail** had everything I was looking for, beauty in Nature, peace and quiet, and the comfort a solo hiker searches out in the wild desert southwest. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/lick-wash/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Lick%20Wash&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Flick-wash%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/lick-wash/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/lick-wash/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/lick-wash/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/lick-wash/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
