Escalante




I went to Escalante and camped there . My mom, John and I hiked a lot . We left Wednesday evening and camped at Sunglow in Torrey, Utah. The next day we drove to Fruita and saw the fruit orchards. And also saw Capitol Reef. We drove to Escalante and we hiked to Lower Calf Creek Falls and waded in the water. It's three miles there and three miles back. We set up camp near Ecalante on the Smoky Mt. Road and had dinner, roasted smores, and went to bed.

July 4th, 2008. The next day we got up and went to the slot canyons. We hiked two miles down to the slots and went through one of them named Spooky. I also saw dinosaur tracks and went to Devil's Garden. It is really cool because you can climb all over the rocks. My mom and I climbed on top of an arch and John took a picture of us. We were so exhausted that John treated us to dinner at the Cowboy Blue's Restaurant, we then drove around and looked at farms.

The next day it was rainy, so we went to the BLM Visitor Center, the trading post, and to a thrift store, where I bought a teddy bear. It was raining hard so we packed up and drove back to Salt Lake.
