The change in elevation and scenery was amazing as we drove from Flagstaff to Glendale.
No more snow capped mountain and pine trees!
During our drive, we went by one of the items on my “must see list” Horseshoe Bend! It was a Friday and the park was open but not staffed.
We made the short hike to the river. It was much hotter than we expected!
The Colorado River cuts through the land here making for amazing landscapes like Horseshoe Bend.

We saw a few boats and campers down below
And of course, more rocks to climb
Monkey see, monkey do!
J wanted to get closer to the edge for a better look of the drop off!
We arrived in Glendale at a very small, clean, quiet RV park. Glendale is about the size of Amboy!
Lots of space to run!
And a nice town park two blocks away
It had been at least two months since the kids were allowed to play at a playground
Signs of spring
A small horse pasture right next to the RV park
J tried feeding her but she wasn’t interested in our carrots!
Picnic and reading on a glorious day
J even made a picnic lunch!
Pics of the landscapes around Glendale/Kanab
Caves
Driving to Kanab
Kanab - known as Little Hollywood because of the numerous western movies made here
We drove over to Zion NP on afternoon. The road was open for folks to drive through but you weren’t supposed to stop and explore.
We stopped anyway!
Way too amazing to not stop and explore for a little while.
Jackson climbing up the side of this wall of sandstone
Jackson took off running to go explore
We were completely surrounded by rock walls
The pictures do not capture how enormous the rock wall formations are

Crab crawling down
Back at the little RV park in Glendale - exploring the area and found a creek close by
Also found an overlook of alfalfa fields - a major crop in this area
Over the weekend, we went on a hike called Squaw Trail in Kanab
View of what we’re about to climb
Always the leader!
Kind of a difficult hike for Grace but she did great
Getting close to the top!
Video - he had to see if he could throw a rock from the top and get it to land all the way below
Cool rock!
Some warmer days and no pool - means water fun with buckets
Jackson was able to get Grace good!
Grace had to have Jackson lay down to pour it on him! Ha!
We went on an ATV tour of Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park
Following our guide, Gordon, through the dunes
Pink sand dunes for miles!
Kids were very excited!
Video
Got a little dusty so goggles were needed
We stopped on the dunes to sled and sand board

They think we need to buy one!
The second part of our tour was a short hike through peekaboo slot canyon
This was so amazing
❤️

😃
More climbing outside of the slot canyon - so glad we did this ATV tour
@#Elyrosario I absolutely love all of this! Just all of it ❤️❤️❤️
