Hiking Utah…..Part 5

All good things must come to an end (or so they say) including our hiking adventures in Utah. The past few days we have wandered along the canyon rims

and over rocks

in Canyonlands National Park.

Each of the five national parks are unique; as the name indicates, Canyonlands National Park is all about canyons.

That is the Colorado River

(Sorry we got carried away with posting photos, but we couldn’t decide which ones best described our hiking experiences here. And, yes, they were as strenuous as they look.)

Hiking over 40 miles the past 3 weeks (with no falls!!!) and the fact Roger has a birthday on Monday; a celebration with pizza and beer was in order.

The celebration continued back at the camp site.

Roger was not the only one celebrating a birthday this week, Max turned 4 on Friday.

He has been such a good camping companion, only whining when he thought he was going to be left behind. Well, there was that one time he growled at the deer in the campground; but in his defense, he was protecting his people.

While in the Moab area, we caught up with Captain’s high school friend, Clarke, whom he had not seen in over 40 years.

We spent a most delightful evening with her and her husband, Tom, at their lovely home.

There is snow on the mountains

which means it is time for us to head home. What a fantastic trip it has been! Thanks for following along with us.
