For Memorial Day, Audrey and I went backpacking in Escalante. It was a lot of fun even though we got caught in the rain. Fortunately we found shelter in the canyon and it wasn’t a very narrow one. After we got out we met up with Danielle and company at Bryce Canyon for some good eats.
Anyway, here are the pictures.
-
- At the trailhead
-
- prickley pear
-
- hiking towards an arch on our way in to the canyon
-
- flowers
-
- Anasazi ruins
-
- happy Audrey
-
- we made dinner in this cave the first night
-
- the next morning the tent was pretty wet from the torrential downpour
-
- I collected some of the runoff to filter and drink later
-
- the trail we came in on…
-
- The mighty escalante river. It was ankle deep the day before.
-
- a waterfall from all the rain
-
- another pretty waterfall
-
- I’m king of the mountain
-
- the residents of the first cave
-
- better accomodations, with a limited spider population, higher ceiling, and better light
-
- a fuzzy caterpillar on a stick
-
- Remember that waterfall from earlier? well it was gone later that day.
-
- dew on the flowers
-
- those little guys were everywhere
-
- to keep ourselves entertained we played tic tac toe
-
- I never won
-
- pictionary too
-
- River water to drink. No surprise this clogged the water filter.
-
- beautiful canyon on the way out
-
- It was much sunnier on the way out.
-
- The arch again
Cool pictures. Those spiders are mad creepy… Thanks for making cobbler with us!
I was wondering if you guys were going to do something like that. Way to be! Looks like fun.
Nice! You guys are hard core! I’m going to have to post some pictures of Memorial Day hiking too. How do you post your pictures so neat and organized? In blogspot.com it’s hard and takes a long time.
That looks like almost to much fun. Way to be adventerous!
