Day Two

Day Two started out early at the Marble Canyon Lodge. We were up at 6 to a beautiful morning. We took our time but were on the road by 0830. We headed west across the Kaibab plateau and past the entrance to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. I (tish) was driving so Monica got to do the rubbernecking and was rewarded by seeing several wild turkeys strolling along just inside the tree line. We went through some stunning landscapes and finally found our way to Utah where we unaccountably lost an hour right away... okay I do understand but it was lost anyway. The southeastern entrance to Zion National park took us into some of the most awe-inspiring scenery I've ever seen. We spent the rest of the day hiking in and out of gorgeous canyons with a surprising amount of water. Monica, in particular, enjoyed standing in the spray of the waterfalls that we saw. Since we had been hiking in 100+ degrees, our day concluded with showers and alcohol... and of course, this blog entry.
