Wow, today was a really hard day. Also my whole back is so so so burnt so that is miserable.
Anyway, today we woke up at 6:30ish to find that the power at our hotel wasn’t really working so only one light in our room worked also we had to take the stairs everywhere. Luckily by the time we were back from our really long hike it was fixed. The hotel that we are staying at had an amazing breakfast so that was a good way to start the day.
We had a late start this morning and started the trail head at nine. The first mile was surprisingly flat. As soon as we hit mile 2 we started to go down way down. Also it was super steep. We were im the shade most of the way down which was really nice. As soon as we went down that 1,000 feet we were almost finished with the second mile. The next few miles were semi-flat. It was a very peaceful hike. After a few miles we met up with a road the road was super steep down and super rocky I could never imagine driving down it in a Jeep.
At about mile nine we started to go back up. Straight up. It was miserable. Luckily, my dad bribed is with ice cream if we had a positive attitude the whole time. We stopped every seven switchbacks and took a little break.
After the long hike we drove back to Moab to get some ice cream I had a milkshake and it was so good. Then, after our milkshake we went back to the hotel to go swimming. We are planning to go to the Moab Brewery for dinner.
