 We saw lots of bison everywhere.

So many baby bison (calves) everywhere too!

Misadventure

“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” 
― Lao Tzu

Sometimes you have to give in to defeat, listen to your intuition, turn around and go back. (In the hope that going back is even possible). Especially when you are traipsing across the desert all by your lonesome without a single soul in sight! 

All in all, it was still quite the adventure. Here are a few photos I took while on my misadventure.

A lot of hiking in one day

The slot canyons and return to Goblin Valley

My friend, Christina, and I had one day to do some hiking. We left Saturday evening to meet up with our other friend, Sonia, who was all ready on her weekend hiking trip. We camped in Capital Reef and took off from there to Little Horse/Bell canyon to hike the slots. And at the very end, Sonia said she had never been to Goblin Valley. Since it was literally right there, we took her to see it and goofed around for a bit.
