Spring Break Part 2

We started the day with a hike to Calf Creek Falls.  It was incredibly beautiful and pictures can't capture it.  It was early spring so not too hot.  We got up early to do it and I'm glad because hiking out we passed the masses hiking in.  After the hike we drove the scenic Highway 12 from Boulder to Capitol Reef where we did a little more hiking.  The drive was incredible and is ranked one of the most scenic drives in the world.  I can see why.  That night we ate dinner at the famous Hell's Backbone Grill in Boulder, also pretty famous.  It was amazing.  Seriously.  I listened to a podcast with the two women who run the restaurant/farm....it's a very cool place.  Anyway.....






















 The next day was stormy, but we braved the weather and hiked in Bryce.  It was so muddy and we did a pretty long hike in the mud, but the weather just made it all that more incredible.  There is no bad weather, just bad gear....we had mostly the right gear.  Also for some reason Clara decided to be a horse for the entire hike and galloped horse style for miles.  Really, where does all that energy and bounce come from?  She needs to bottle and sell it.

Oh how it makes my heart hurt. I remember very fondly a very similar trip. What an incredible part of the country... And a little bit of snow at Bryce is my FAVORITE.
