Bryce Canyon

Bryce Canyon

Yesterday we walked in the hoodoos. We did a steep incline down. It changed suddenly. It changed from no plants at all to nothing but trees. It did that over and over again. The trail had views of the other side, funny hoodoos, cool hoodoos and different colors in the rock. We went right down into the canyon. We even touched a hoodoo. Some hoodoos looked like they shouldn’t have been standing. Then we very gradually started going up. We walked to the rim, but it was covered in trees so we couldn’t see over. Then we went home, had dinner, and watched a movie.

Slot Canyon in Willis Creek

Oct. 8, 2017

Yesterday we went on a hike in Willis Creek. We played “who can keep their feet the driest?” I got 2^nd place, Dad got 3^rd place, and nick and Mom tied in 1^st place. We saw a waterfall that looked like a waterslide that was when I lost. Nick and I put our muddy handprints on the wall. I kept making ice cream cones out of rocks for the cone, mud for the ice cream, broken twigs for the sprinkles and tiny rocks for cherries. Then we went home for lunch. Then we moved to a new campsite. Nick and I played. Then we had dinner and I cross stitched.

Arches National Psrk

Oct. 11, 2017
Yesterday we had breakfast. We went to Arches National Park and Preserve. We went on a loop that looked over a valley. I fell into a pothole and got my foot wet. We ate lunch at an arch we thought was private arch but it wasn’t. Then we went climbing on a flat cliff. It was fun and absolutely terrifying. Then we saw the real private Arch but it wasn’t private at all. It was swarming with people. Then we saw Dark Angel. It was not an arch, but it was disappointing. Then we saw Landscape Arch, which is the main arch. Then we went home.

All of us at Arches National Park

Today we went to Canyonlands National Park. We went on a hike and looked over the valley. We saw a couple roads and cars in the valley. We saw the needles in the distance. We saw the mazes in the distance. Then we went on a hike called Whale’s Back. We saw more of the valley and cliff faces. We went on the White Domes hike and saw white rock in the middle of the red rock. Then we came home and went to bed.

Yesterday we cleaned. Then we went to the Reno Automobile Museum. They had a NASA space program for kids. It had simulators and games about space. There were also lots of old and really old cars.
