Bridges and Burgers

The 18th turned out to be the most beautiful day yet of the trip. After we cleaned up our campsite, we drove into Natural Bridges again. Our first stop was the visitor center. It's amazing how much less spooky a place is in the sunlight surrounded by people. We drove around and did some short walks to some of the bridges. Although it was sunny, it was a little chilly and windy at the top of the canyon.
Here's Rachel and Emma huddling together for warmth. I love it when they get along, which is actually quite often.

They found a warm spot away from the wind behind some bushes.

I love these next few pictures, especially the one where Caleb looks like he's concentrating so hard that smoke is coming off of his head.

We decided to hike down to Owachomo Bridge. For those of you who are ever headed that way, I highly recommend that hike. (Walking on the railing is completely optional.)

It's quite a pretty spot. We even found an old indian granary in the cliffs.

It was a lot warmer down in the canyon, I somehow ended up holding jackets for awhile.
Now for the next stop of the trip-Torrey. We drove through Hanksville where we stopped for lunch at a place called Henry's Burger Shak, which was pretty good. While we were eating lunch, we noticed that sitting at a table not far from us was the German group that took the tour of Cliff Palace with us at Mesa Verde. We thought it was a little coincidence but it wasn't until we noticed that they were staying in Torrey at the same hotel three doors away is when we were weirded out. They probably felt the same way.
