7 miles, easy

Today we walked out of town on a paved road and eventually a dirt road. Looking ahead, we know these first few days will be some of the easiest on the whole trip, so we try to appreciate them. The going is pretty fast but the bottoms of my feet are aching so we take a long break at the top of the climb for lunch, pictures and yoga. Slickrock bluffs are very inspiring, especially in the early spring when it is just warm enoigh to bare your toes in the sun.

When we walked down the other side to Kane Spring we felt it should be home for the night. We slept under the stars and a cottonwood tree while owls hooted good night.
