Arch Canyon Run (mostly trafficked by 4wheelers) is a gnarly, high clearance road that you only want to travel in dry conditions. We criss-crossed through water all the way. We stopped somewhere in the middle of the canyon to play. It was a remote enough area that we didn't see too much traffic. But, we did see plenty of tadpoles!
Our campsite was absolutely beautiful. We were surrounded by canyon walls. There was water nearby to play in. There were sounds of critters during the day and night. The forest had eyes :)
Ava, Isaac, and I climbed up the mountain to play on the rocks and get a better view of the surroundings ......
Ava strikes a pose. She's discovered her own Zen poses too .....
We spent much of our time playing by the water near the campsite.....
We managed to do some hiking. We saw 3 out of the 5 arches in Arch Canyon. The funnest part was jumping into the water when we got hot! Ok, it was hard to stay out of the water...
Bryan trying to catch lizards along the route......
Willow, getting the hang of potty-training ;)
Isaac decided to blend more into his surroundings by rolling in the dirt.
lol
Not just a little bit either ;)
lol This kid makes me laugh....
Group shot before heading back.....
It was still hot when we returned to the campsite. We found a great little swimming hole.
