White Rim and Child Endangerment

After a little house work on Saturday myself and the boys drove out Potash to the White Rim Trail. I had not been out there for awhile and forgot how long it takes to get anywhere. We came back out the Shafer Trail.


A diving board over Musselman Canyon.


The boys sitting out on Musselman Arch. I walked them out there and told them to not move at all. Of course Rowan kept trying to stand up and go further out.

When you are on top of the arch it really does not look very exposed, but from the side view it was unnerving to see all the boys sitting out there. The arch is formed out of a piece of the White Rim hat held together as the softer rock below was eroded away, so instead of actually being arched it is a perfectly flat piece of sandstone suspended above the canyon.

We have been out there on Musselman Arch, and you are right. Okay to walk on, but crazy when you look back at the pictures.
You were brave to leave the boys out there alone. :)
