He studies and I work - love that we can spend this time together
Enjoying the view and shade
Heading back down
And Bow Tie Arch
Colorado River
Jackson has managed to go through several tire tubes! Jason finally found the issue - multiple thorns in his tire!
Since Arches NP was closed, I found this hike close by to Corona and Bow Tie Arches
Trail takes you over these train tracks enclosed by red rock walls
View from Corona Arch - lots of people heading our way on the trail
Colorado river

Bridge over the Colorado River
Long flat stretches
View of bow tie arch
View from beginning of hike
This was Jackson’s favorite hike!
Jackson at the point

Which took us to Corona Arch
Pool was gorgeous with the back drop of mountains and red rock
Our home for a week
Later that day, we took another hike to a local swimming area

Ladder climb
She wanted to do “her work” like I do!
Cables
Starting out
View driving into Moab
This hike was the most technical one we’ve done so far - it included inclines and climbing rocks
Enclosed by red rock walls
More restaurants are opening up - we visited the Moab Brewery and kids enjoyed their root beer floats
Amazing
We had to cross a river five times to get to the swimming area
Grace at the point
Grace’s turn jumping
At the narrow crossing of the dead horse point
View of the canyon
Our final day in Moab and we headed to Dead Horse State Park - the Colorado River once again has cut through this land leaving horseshoe bends
The blue pools in the distance pull water from deep underground and are for evaporating the water leaving salt used for agriculture products

Jason edging his way to see down
Cool rock stacks line the trail to the point
Jackson getting ready to jump
Less of a swimming area and more of a place for jumping and hanging out
Cooling off
This was a super fun place to explore with the locals
Another day they found a bike track to ride at
She’s off!

J and the kids found a music park to spend time at one afternoon
