There is a mile and a half hike down into the rocks then back up. My Host was busy blessing visitors with information and rich history of the area. She told me NO WAY-you can hike it next time-which was no dissappointment as I was in heaven continuing the exploration from behind the lense of my camera

The Rest of the Utah Travels to come tomorrow-oh- if I could just click my heels 3 times and transport myself from 106 degree desert to the cool and kind temps of Bryce Canyon- I settled for a large bowl of butterfinger ice cream-it qualifies as COOL =)

Daniel (tour guide Sr) Colby(tour guide junior ) and not the least bit intimidated by steep drop offs while teetering near the edge of ravines-thus, the look on Grandmas face

the first 10 minute hike brought us to the natural occuring waterfall on the ranch with the absolute best water I have ever had. I would have loaded empty gallon jugs in the trunk but you know all the luggage-2 women-enough clothes for a month...yada..yada..yada..
