After a week in the magical land of Moab, we decided it was time to move on, but not before we visited Arches National Park, waded a mile down the Colorado River with our wallets and cell phones tied around our heads, attended a remote desert rave, and hiked the highest peak in the LaSalle Mt. range (@ about 12,700 ft.).

After saying our goodbyes, we got a ride to the Grand Junction, CO bus stop from our friend Matt. We took the 5 am bus to St. George, Utah and got a ride down to Mosquito Cove Campsite (a free site just outside the park) from a fellow drifter. We befriended our ride (he's about our age) and he has been kind enough to transport us to and from the park today, super awesome.

We did a short hike today, Zion is stunning. We were driven back to the visitor's ctr. by an impressive thunderstorm, but we plan on a full day of hiking tomorrow!

Next stop: Grand Canyon
