Dana and I took a camping trip to Goblin Valley with his coworker and said coworkers wife. It was really really hot. Too hot for Ruth to function. By 8 in the morning it was already 90 degrees. Good thing it was pretty. We also hiked up Little Wild Horse Canyon, a skinny, river-carved canyon with all kinds of pretty layers. We also stopped at Capitol Reef National Park on the way home. (Sorry about the random blue lines... I don't know how to fix it.) 
This is where Dana found a rock that looked like a camel. He said it was very hot to sit on. Go figure, 105 degrees outside...

Here is the beautiful Goblin Valley.
This is up Little Wild Horse Canyon. It's kind of reminiscent of Antelope Canyon in Arizona, if any of you have heard of that. Antelope Canyon is not quite as rugged looking.
See the pretty layers of the canyon? The hike was actually quite pleasant. The difference of temperature in the shadow of the canyon was at least 10 degrees, maybe more.
This is one of the open parts of the hike. Dana's coworker likes to go geo-caching, and this was where one of the geo-caches was.
Here we are at Capitol Reef. It was a very quick visit.

Paul took the scouts to little wild horse canyon in feb. one year. I really wanted to go, but I was preggers with Matthew (due in March) I wasn't pleased that I got stuck at home.
However, they had to go winter camping, and that didn't sound like much fun to me!
pretty place!
