We arrived in Bryce Valley on Saturday evening and promptly crashed. We were exhausted from our travels up here to Utah. We left even though we knew that Munchkin was still sick. It’s never an easy decision, but since she was dealing with things related to her allergies, we knew that it wouldn’t matter if we were home or away. Either way, she’d be feeling less than stellar.

Willis Creek – Slot Canyons

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

Today’s journey took us to the Willis Creek hiking trail which contains a beautiful stream and slot canyons. Munchkin is still under the weather, but she’s able to do some hiking.

The beautiful slot canyons made for a nice hike. In the next post, I’ll tell you about our fun dinosaur track adventure.

When Munchkin was quite young and we were living in North Carolina, we rented a small travel trailer to take a nice camping trip. We’d always done tent camping up to this point, so it was a new adventure for us. The summer temps (and humidity) in the South weren’t something that we used to, and we quickly learned that tent camping was okay only during certain months. Otherwise, it was just miserable, and I ended up feeling absolutely horrid after a day camping. That trip lead to us purchasing our first travel trailer. We were limited in what we…
