Red Canyon is the beginning of The All American Road Scenic Highway 12 from the West. I remember the first time I saw the canyon it was breath taking it made me grab my camera and stop in every turn out to shoot this magical landscape that erosion made.

Last week we had a pretty heavy rain storm that cause flash flooding in Red Canyon. The rain washed away part of the bike trail and also closed the road in the canyon for a couple of hours. On our hike a lot of the trails were washed out which made it hard to know where we were going. The gift we were given is seeing the beginning of the landscape hikers will see in the future. The rain had washed away the loose shale and soil and cleared the way for snow and freezing weather to work its magic on the landscape.
