We haven't camped as a family very much so I was a little nervous about this trip. Mostly about the food. I didn't want to take a cooler and worry about keeping it filled with ice so I planned everything accordingly. It went really well and was not a big deal at all :) Next time I won't waste my time worrying!
The landscape was amazing. It's pretty neat how much things can change in a short distance. This park is about 4 hours from us. A lot of Southern Utah is similiar to this park.
This was a hot, dusty hike - about a mile in and another mile out. It wore the kids out but the scenery was amazing. Most of the whining came from Caleb (although Maggie did her fair share - her face says it all) whose legs kept hurting - from his asthma, I think. I kept giving him piggybacks but he was totally done in and not a fan of hiking after that. The second he stepped on the next trail and realized we were going on another hike - he had a total meltdown. Once I got him calmed down and he realized it was more playing in the water than hiking he loved it :) The trail criss crosses a shallow creek. They all loved that. I wish we had discovered that one sooner. They were all wet and muddy so they all had to change for the drive home.
So fun to climb and explore!
A neat, old village we drove down to explore.
This was at our campground. In the woods right behind our spot. The kids loved playing in it and adding to it.
