Unfortunately, as is so often the case, the natural beauty has

been marred by graffiti.

When the hiking was done, we were all a bit tired.

Now we are at another decision point. Do we race back down to the

lowlands and freeway, or try another 10,000 foot steep twisty

mountain road with no guardrails that would take us to Bryce and

Zion NPs. It rained here in the valley last night, probably snow

up high. And high winds. If you don't hear from us, we might just

have dropped off the edge of the world. (Just kidding, Dad!)
