4 April 2011: Went for a hike down Cathedral Wash to the Colorado River. Great slot canyon to hike with some pretty good scrambles. After lunch we broke camp and drove up to the Vermillion Cliffs then out on a BLM road. Camped where we could watch condors soaring around. I did not even realize they were down here so it was pretty neat to watch them sail through the air. Had to have binoculars to see them so did not even try to take a picture. Cooler though – polar fleece has replaced t-shirts.
Some of the rock formations were really interesting.
I don't think Connie's surgeon would approve of some of our hiking!
There were some scrambles around water holes and drop offs.
The mouth of the canyon.
On the banks of the Colorado River.
This guy has quite the odd looking toes.
This was one of the worst scrambles around this drop off.
