A few weeks ago Hawk and I enjoyed a mighty camping trip with good friends of ours, Bren and Tiffany. It was the beginning of March-ish and we lucked out on some good weather. Not too hot and not too cold. The evening was definitely chilly though. Good thing for camp fires! We went for 3 days and had a wonderful time. We did A LOT of hiking and climbing around. It really kicked my butt. WHOO! But they were fun hikes.
We spent most of our time climbing around in Goblin Valley. That's a state park which is like south east-ish from Salt Lake for like 3 hours. It's sort of by Moab. It's in the same general place on a map er something haha! It is definitely an interesting place. You never get bored when you're there. It felt like another planet! Such interesting little rock formation. Oh but it is a paradise for my dear Hawk. He LOVES climbing around and didn't waste anytime trying to see how high he could climb. There was even a fun little cave!
We also enjoyed a hike called Wild Horse Canyon. That's what majority of my pictures are of. It was a great hike filled with all sorts of adventures. It did last quite a long time though. There was a stretch of just flat road that was hard to get through after we had just climbed through the first half of the hike. That picture is depicted. Just look for the one that I'm not happy in haha. But it was a good hike. Lots of fun things to conquer.
It was a good camping trip of enjoying each others company and sharing many fun stories. Sadly it's been many weeks since this camping trip has happened so I don't remember specifics haha. Oh well. Long random posts can be boring right :P Well anyway. I hope you enjoy our pictures :)
So at this point of the hike there was unsuspecting pools of (apparently) very cold water. Now turning back wasn't an option and I'm a woose with the cold so Hawk was my hero and carried me on his back. I'm not sure why he didn't take his boots off though
our friends, Brent and Tiffany, made it through pretty good. What troopers!
The 3 drying off their feet
A lot of the hike was this fun zigg zaggy kinda stuff
Now apparently this is the point where hikers turn around and go back. Well we decided to press forward and do the whole thing!
As a result of that decision, you get this picture
aaaand more climbing
And this my friends, is Goblin Valley. Ya just have to go there to see what it's like
It makes for a beautiful sunset :)
The rocks there are sandy, slippery, and round, and would make it hard to jump from one rock to the other
And here's the Goblin Valley cave. It's really hard to climb into
