Horseshoe Bend

Posted by Ellie on Thursday Apr 7, 2011 Under Travels

On April 3rd, we went on a hike to Horseshoe Bend, a part of the Colorado River just below the Glen Canyon dam. When we got on our hike I liked it already. We started our hike and got lots of sand in our shoes. We saw neat plants and cool rocks. We walked for a long time until we got to the canyon. When I got to look out over the edge my mouth dropped open when I saw Horseshoe Bend. There was the Colorado River and there was a bridge that was made out rocks.

We looked for a while and then we started our trip back to the RV.

When we got back to the RV, Greta and Stella saw jewelry. They each got a pair a earrings. Then we got back on the road.

    I didn’t think it was that scary. But, Jean did. I think she might have been worried that one of us was going to fall off. But we were really careful.

    So did you lay down when you looked over the cliff too? Kinda crawled up and peeked over? It’s scary to look straight down, but I’ll bet you’re starting to get used to it. Love, Grand Dad.

    I love heights- they don’t scare me!!! But yep, we did lie down ’cause Jean was terrified that we were gonna fall off the edge.
