Our 10th Anniversary Trip

For our 10th Anniversary (April 2011) Chris and I decided to take a trip down to Southern Utah. First we stopped in Green River and stayed the night at Robbers Roost Motel. The town has pretty much nothing to offer. lol
The next morning we drove further south to check out Goblin Valley. I went there as a teenager and have been dying to go back. It was just as cool as I remember.
After Goblin Valley we went to check out a slot canyon . . . Little Wild Horse Canyon. It's about a 9.4 mile loop, so we just hiked a little ways in to check it out. Wow, slot canyons are amazing and seem a little freaky at times. Wouldn't want to be stuck in one during a rain storm!
Our backpacking destination . . . Mule Canyon. We backpacked about 4 miles in until we found a good spot to make camp . . . under this rock.
The reason I chose this destination was for the Anasazi Indian Ruins. They didn't disappoint. It was amazing that these people built and lived on steep rock and ledges.
Incredible.
The next day we left for Moab. We stayed at the Sunflower Hill Luxury Inn. It was a really nice and cute place.
Day four of our trip we headed back home. But on the way there we stopped at Arches National Park to see the sites. It really is amazing the things created by nature and it's elements.
An awesome trip. I really can't wait to go back ! ! !
