The night was cold. I woke with frost on everything. D=rt was the only one to put up a shelter, which proved to be smart. Last night the route had us walking through the creek in the canyon. This led to wet and sandy feet. That led to frozen shoes this morning. Frozen solid. Socks, gaiters, shoes, all frozen together. So we had to slowly stretch the shoes until we were able to get them on our feet. Talk about cold!
We finally got to hiking around 8 and made good time through the canyon. So beautiful, and something new around every corner. Such great color, and deep pools of dark green water in stagnant pools. It was amazing! We got to the road to Moab around noon and quickly hiked to town.
We decided to overnight at the Rodeway Inn. D=rt has chaffing, Zach has a blister on the bottom of his foot, and we won't be in a town for 2+ weeks. Mexican food, ice cream, and a bed. This trail is not so bad after all.
I did get a lot of town chores done, and we will be back on the trail early in the morning. This journal may not be updated for a couple weeks!
