National Parks Pass

This year we got a National Parks Pass, so we have lots of trips to catch up on from this summer. So far we have gone to Arches, Dead Horse Point, Canyonlands, Great Basin, Yosemite, Glacier's and Yellowstone! It has been an adventure to say the least. I will just have to catch up trip by trip.

Arches/Canyonlands/Dead Horse Point

June 2010

We packed up our car and trailer for this trip! I can't believe how much stuff it takes to go camping for a few days. We joined up with Erin and Mike and kids, Grandma, Krystle and Mike, and Suzanne and Phillip and kids. It was fun to all go together. Here are some of the Window Arches.

Since we had already come down to Arches in March, we went and saw some different things this time.

Of course we had a little rain, but actually it turned out to be quite nice, because it really cooled things off and we had no AC in our car!

We had a beautiful campsite right along the Green River. It was called Goose Island Campground. We had dutch oven meals, campfires and a lot of fun.

It even had a bike trail within the campground that went along the river. Adam loved it.

All settled in the tent

We were so happy we were able to bring our bikes. We went and did a "family friendly trail" that had some slick rock in it. It was pretty crazy for being "family friendly", but we had a great time. Grandma's bike actually broke on the trail, and she had to walk it back out for a mile or so until we could get the car to it. It was awesome to bike in such amazing scenery though.

Canyonlands

I was excited to stop by Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point. As many times as I have been down to Moab, I never ventured out to these amazing sights! Pretty Incredible.
