The day dawned crisp as can be at Horsethief campground, but sickie Kim, having a hard time sleeping, had made a fire by the time the rest of us woke up. Poor Nathanael woke up screaming. His eyes were glued shut and face covered in crusties from a sick night sleep. It took a lot of wipes and loving from daddy Ben to help him feel better. Even so, he sat like a cold little lump in a camp chair, not his perky cheerful self.
There were a few key sites in Canyonlands. First to the crater (meteorite or ancient salt lake?), then to Whale Rock, and finally to a lookout where the 4x4 road goes down into the canyon itself and around the White Rim Road. It was nice to have a relaxed, moseying pace to our hiking instead of trying to get to the farthest places possible. Kids have that effect :)
