Yesterday afternoon I went hiking in Kodachrome Basin State Park. It's about halfway between Cedar City and Boulder. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's fairly close to Bryce Canyon so I expected a lot of red rock.

Today was a striped ( Read more... )

Oh, my legs were sore this morning. Also, I think I overate at breakfast because my stomach felt like there was a lead shoe sitting in it. But in spite of aches and pains, Daddy had a seven-eight mile hike that he PROMISED would only have a bit of fierce uphill at the beginning, after which it would be smooth, soothing downhill.
