i'm pretty stoked for this weekend. to say the least. i'm joyful because i won't have to see the office or my desk for two and a half days. happy because, well, i know you're shocked...but i'm going on another adventure. this one is almost like going somewhere new. my bff (and travel buddy extraordinaire) and i will be spending the weekend in bryce canyon national park and grand staircase escalante national monument. i passed through both of these places on the southern utah bike ride i did last year. i've since made a speedy visit through bryce (two weeks ago with the students from the boarding school) that really only allowed for a drive down the main road, two lookout stops, and one emergency potty stop.
this time we're going back to explore. to take our time. to get to know the nature of bryce canyon national park on an intimate level. this time we will have fun. we'll hike down into the depths of bryce's hoodoos. probably ride our bikes on the park road. maybe see a speedgoat or two.
then. on sunday morning we'll adventure to grand staircase escalante national monument. possibly (next to moab, of course) among the planets greatest beautys. there we'll hike calf creek falls to see the 126 foot waterfall. visit erda at the local inn. have a pizza at escalante outfitters. and maybe ride our bikes there too.
the last time i was eating pizza in escalante was with them. we had a great time. i miss them.
