Paria Canyon Wilderness Area is just off the side of the plateau, dropping steeply to the Paria River hidden deep below.

The beautifully colored sandstone is part of the Navajo Formation, formed from an erg (sea of wind-blown sand dunes covering an area larger than the Sahara desert).

It’s a plateau and it’s supposed to be flat. Mostly.

Just another wilderness area easily covered by SeaRey. And, yes, there is a ‘Rey sized emergency landing zone just underneath!

If you aren’t happy with your first splash in a ‘Rey, you can simply fly away and do it again!

While there weren’t many people around to watch, the burros were definitely interested in SeaRey ops.

Great pictures Dan, I bet Richard never dreamed he'd be on a guided tour of some of the prettiest places that you could only see on a magic carpet ride.

He did dream it, Russ. We all did, didn't we? Remember the dream when you first saw the 'Rey. And then we made it happen. Made possible by dreams of Kerry and Paige. And all the dreamers that came before them.

Each of us probably has his own personal version of that SeaRey dream memory, Dan.

You can’t expect to have a perfect place all to yourself forever. Pretty soon you might be lucky enough to make a furry new friend.

Lake Powell is also one of my favorite places of all time. How does the Sea Rey perform <br />from the water at that pressure altitude?
