Securing the Cabin Perimeter is Exhausting
Katie went to Moab to spend the day with her parents. Mike and I lazed around for a few hours before taking off towards the Needles District of Canyonlands.
Up and the mountain we went and pit stopped for the girls. It is butterfly season in the mountains and I love photographing them every year.
We motored on past Newspaper Rock and into Canyonlands. With dogs, you are extremely limited to paved areas. There motto: Paws on Pavement. It sucks. I understand that National Parks are trying to protect the land and wildlife, but we almost exclusively travel with the dogs, so yeah. We did the tourist thing and just hit a few overlooks. It was hot, so we didn't take the girls out.
I'm sure the hiking is spectacular in the park. But after about an hour, we headed back out and up out of the heat. Before heading back to the cabin, we popped into the forest for a bit more exploration.
Hope loved the forest. So many smells. So much to see. And the deer. A dogs dream. Elly thrives in the woods. A bit of exploration, then a good nap in the pine needles.
After a detour to a tiny waterfall, we headed back to the cabin where Katie and her mom had dinner already made. Man we were spoiled. We enjoyed the cool mountain breeze, talked for a while then turned in.
