After driving 1000 miles to the Springs our adventure begins
First stop. Canyon Lands National Park in Utah. This will be our base camp for the next three nights.
Our camp was just about 1/4 mile from a deep canyon so we scouted the area
You won't catch me getting too close to the edge.
and meet the neighbors before we head back to camp.
The first of two dozen plus cribbage games.
It's over a twelve mile round trip hike to the Druid Arch and back.
We were happy to beat the heat in this slot caynon. Two thumbs up.
Things heated up down in the dried stream beds
and shade was tough to find.
Just a little further
pretty major scramble up a major rock face to reach the Arch.
Sometimes going down is tougher than the climb up.
No more shade in the slot, thumbs up?
But all smiles
Burgers back at camp. Sitting by the fire feels pretty good.
We saw over 5 species of lizards and Beau caught this one for a moment.
Maybe a 12 mile hike was alittle more than I barganed for on the first day.
Tomorrow we hit the Fiery Furnace at Arches National Park.
