October hike with my youngest son, Stephen.
This was my first, very small, segment of the PCT. We hope to do a lot more in the coming few years.
Hiking
At Arches National Park
I reached Moab on Monday evening and had a chance to drive through the park with the evening sun. My whole goal was to get to the Delicate Arch.
On the way to the arch, I saw a cave across the terrain on the left. I love caves and it called to me, but it will have to wait for another day.
As the 1.5 mile hike was drawing to its end, I was struck by the visual of everyone disappearing at the top of the hill and there was no one coming back our way. All I could think of was lemmings and an old video game we used to play. It turns out everyone was hanging out at the arch for sunset.
This post started with the best picture, but below are a few more from the evening. The pièce de résistance of my time in Moab was Canyonland on Tuesday. I hope to have those pictures up by tonight.
Cathedral Gorge
There were some interesting sites on my way to the Cathedral Gorge State Park in Nevada.
When Stella and I reached Cathedral Gorge, it did not disappoint. There will be some video later, but I hope you enjoy this album.
After several hours of hiking around, it was time to find a quiet place off the beaten path to make camp for the night. No campground this time, just a flat spot to put my tent off the road.
