Just Being a Tourist

20 May 2015

Since we were camped just outside of Natural Bridges National Monument, we decided to just do the park today.  The focus of the park is a deep convoluted sandstone canyon with several very large natural bridges (duh) in the 150' by 200' opening range.

By the time we got into the park and found the trail head we wanted, it was already 12:30.  We decided to just do the first part of the trail down into the canyon.




That's as close as we're gonna get.
 After touring the rest of the park, we continued west towards Halls Crossing on Lake Powell.  We've been here several times before as the starting point for our Lake Powell house boating trips.  The road is about 50 miles of classic SW canyonlands.



A random road-side ruin.

Gotta do the blind curves slowly.

Good night from the campground at Halls Crossing UT.

  1. Nice bridges today! Those are massive! Next time we need one of you to hike down and stand underneath so we get a better perspective on size : )
