Hyde Family Travels Album
Philip, Ardis and David Hyde In the Maze, Canyonlands National Park, Utah, by Parker "Ham" Hamilton.
Philip Hyde, Ardis Hyde and David Hyde In the Maze, Canyonlands National Park, Utah, 1968, photograph by Parker "Ham" Hamilton. David Leland Hyde rode in front of his mother's saddle. At age three, David was the youngest person to ever horseback into the labyrinthine canyon wilderness of the Maze. The Maze is a harsh landscape. There are no roads and few trails in the Maze Wilderness even today. Many parts of the Maze take several days to reach by horseback. It is nature's outdoor gallery of subtle desert colors and still one of the wildest parts of the West. It is the place whence came many of the photographs in "Slockrock" by Edward Abbey and Philip Hyde, "Drylands" and other books on the Southwest, in the Sierra Club Exhibit Format Series and not in the series.
