Balanced Rock
2016年6月26日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Leisurely morning. Our first on this trip. Slept until after 8am, took our time getting going. Neat rock, seemingly defying gravity. Just a short 0.3 mile walk around the base. Parking gettingもっと詳しく
Double Arch

Hard getting shots without random people in them. Look closely for R & Tom perched at the top. L & I were happily in the shade below. It's getting hot!

R getting hot, tired, and hungry. "We can do hard things," Final loop at Arches! This is a fun park and we really enjoyed it (R loves any rock he can climb - not the arches themselves of course!),もっと詳しく

Nice breeze as we hiked out to Mesaもっと詳しく

Ending scene in Thelma & Louise - Susan Sarandon & Gina Davis, driving off the cliff. Great vistas of the wild geology around here. Legend is that cowboys corralled wild horses on the point, took theもっと詳しく

Another slow morning - L played with a boy from Belgium (family is relocating to Michigan for work the next few years) while I made scrambled eggs. Refueled, replenished Tom's stock of lemon iced tea,もっと詳しく

Capitol Reef

Nineteen layers of rock - lifted up in the 100-mile long Waterpocket Fold. Now I know I'm the geeky daughter of a geeky geologist! Took hundreds of photos of the different types of rocks!もっと詳しく

Winding drive between Capitol Reef and Bryce, through Dixie National Forest. Tom drove through the worst of the zig zags. Lots of fir, pines, and aspen. Funny to see cows grazing along the roads. Rもっと詳しく

Last National Park

Kind of wearing out. If we did this trip again, I'd do it in reverse. Feel like Zion is getting short shrift - didn't think twice about a three mile hike in the beginning. Less energy for sure now.もっと詳しく
