Escalante Continued

Setting off on the voyage with the traditional "head of trail" picture.  Apparently Mr. R and I didn't know we were supposed to look like "cool" hikers.

This is "Egypt". We are standing at the trail head of what I was told led to a beautiful place known as "Cathedral".  Because of the previous days expeditions I had just finished duct-taping/bandaging the *6* or so blisters on my feet.  Mr. R was feeling a bit heat stricken so we decided it would be prudent to try a different hike. 

These pictures are all out of order, but I'm too  lazy busy to sequence them all, but they are all beautiful in their own way, they don't really need to be sequenced to they? :)

This is our campsite for night one.  It was strategically placed just off the trail and on top of a ledge.  ... talk about not liking the "bathroom" in the wild... sometimes boys have it a bit easier...  

"Water Hole"

Little brother falling of the side of a cliff into a beautiful scenic backdrop, that was kind of cut off in this photo in order to capture the drama of him hanging off the side of a cliff.

Little brother is engaged to a BEAUTIFUL woman and wanted us to take a picture of this truck. "See people do this sort of thing for their honeymoon."

Mr. R attempting to dive closer to the falls, but decided that it was WAY too cold. I agree with him, I just soaked my feet in it near the edge :) It was the perfect hike to end a practically perfect backpacking trip.
