These are Marilyn’s photos from the hike that we did on our first full day in the Moab area. This was a new hike for us; it was a fun hike and we’ll definitely do it again some day. We all wore long pants because there’s a lot of poison ivy in the area. We saw some big patches of it alongside the trail. (A woman that we met along the way pointed it out to us; I didn’t know what it looks like.)
Marilyn took this shot from the trailhead. A commemorative plaque is visible on the rock at the bottom of the photo. We expected this to be a plaque about William Granstaff, after whom the canyon is named, but it was not.
A photo of Kevin hiking ahead…
A red flower…
We had some nice clouds that day…
A photo of Kevin photographing the creek:
Here is a link to the photo I took from that vantage point. The next photo, below, is the one that Marilyn took without me in it.
Another photo of Kevin…
There Kevin is again!
A white flower…
We had to ford the creek quite a few times on our way out to Morning Glory Bridge:
This is the first glimpse of Morning Glory Bridge. I didn’t even know it was there when I passed this point.
A closer view of Morning Glory Bridge. The group who eventually rappelled down the wall behind the bridge are on top of the bridge in this photo.

Love these–and the color:) And—it’s so much fun seeing Kevin–especially fording the stream:) The bridge pic is wonderful–as are many:)

Great shots, Marilyn! I especially liked the shots of the reppellers. Very cool.
