It's time for us to come home, hopefully we'll get there soon but with Sofia behind the wheel it could take a long time. Sorry I forgot to turn the camera.

Peek a boo canyon & spooky gultch





This is one of the most incredible things we've ever done. To get in to Peek a boo we had to shuttle the kids up a ten foot rock wall and then once we were in there we realized we had to keep going because it would have been near impossible to get the kids back down this wall. At that point we were wondering what we had gotten ourselves in to but as we hiked along we started to relax and enjoy the scenery and the challenge of the tiny spaces. By the end Lussi was leading the way and loving the adventure. I was a nervous mom until I knew we were close to the end and then of course it became a great adventure because we survived.

Bryce Canyon






After leaving Salt Lake we headed south to see Bryce Canyon and stay the night in Escalante. We hiked one of the more famous hikes and it was incredible with the contrast of the snow against the red rock. We have a zillion pictures so here is just a sample of what it was like.
