Desert trip
The last few days we’ve been down in Southern Utah camping and hiking around. It was such an awesome trip. Jared took a bunch of pictures with a non-camera phone (so stop your whining) and posted them here on flickr.
Here are some of the highlights:
Camping on a starry night in Escalante
Beautiful slot canyons in Escalante
Camping down at Lake Powell.
I bought a bathing suit at the local store got a M kids instead of M adult and we had to cut it into a two pieces so I could fit into it. Problem was, we didn’t have a knife or scissors so we used a sharp rock. It worked great.
Skinny dipping in the pool above and the longest hike ever 30miles above Lake Powell. It was supposed to be 3 hours but ended up being NINE because of a choke stone that blocked our path at the end of the loop hike and forced us to turn around and go back the long way we came. It was rough but we survived with a few scrapes and bruises trying to get over that freakin’ choke stone and from the hours upon hours of weed whacking through tamaracks. Arg.
On our way home we stopped at Goblin Valley which was pretty amazing
