The second night in Boulder Utah. A little warmer, but the sun has just set over the Aquarius Plateau and the Tibetan prayer flags and wind chime over the garden are whipping in a northerly wind.
Today we attempted the Calf Creek Falls hike but aborted when the kids were on the verge of a 10am meltdown. We recovered gracefully with a short hike downstream on the Escalante River Canyon... found a small beach tucked in a riverine corridor of russian olive, tamarisk and cottonwood. Played in the clear water for hours. We chased minnows and snakes and forgot about the world beyond the canyon.
Not much of a hike, but we managed to lose ourselves.
