Moab Backpacking Trip

We had so much fun this weekend in MOAB!


Thursday: Left our house at 7:30 for Moab and drove in the car for 3 hours. Got to the hotel and went straight to bed.


Friday: Woke up, got ready and packed our backpacks. Drove to Negro Bill Canyon, made sandwiches for our lunch and started our backpacking trip.









We finally arrived to the end of our hike to see the arch above us. Now we were to turn back and find the turn off to where we are able to spend the night.








While on the trail Spencer tried to catch a lizzard, but he only got his tail.




















This was our campfire. Tyler had the brillient idea to make benches out of the rocks.


The boys had fun racing to make the fire with their flint and steel.
Megan was the first one to catch a fish in the small river that we played in.


Saturday: Morning came slowly for mom, she was freezing all night. The rest of us slept pretty well. After making breakfast and sitting around the fire we packed up all of our stuff and hiked out of the canyon. When we got back to our car we were so exausted and dirty, so we decided to go to the hotel and swim until they let us check into the hotel. The rest of the night we played cards and watched a movie before bed.
 Sunday:
We made it to the top of the Delicate Arch.


Played on the big sand hill


Drove home

Dallin and I are standing under the arch.

Lazy Man Iron Man!

Dallin and I completed the Lazy Man Iron Man which is where you complete an Iron Man (2.4 mile Swim, 112 mile Bike, 26 mile Run) in 4 weeks. We found out about it through BYU. We paid $5 and got a tally card to keep track of what we had finished each day. WE DID IT!
