We got up early today to take our horses, “El Paso,” “Red River,” & “Rachel,” off the rim into the floor basin where erosion has shaped colorful limestones, sandstones, and mudstones into a spectacular array of spires, fins, and pinnacles known as “hoodoos.” These whimsically arranged hoodoos resemble church steeples, Gothic spires, castle walls, animals, and even people. Phenomenal ride! Back at the top, we headed over to get some Four wheeler ATV’s to travel the woods & along the rim. Another phenomenal ride! Then after a stop at Adobe Cafe in Hatch, Utah, we headed on to Jacob Lake, Arizona near the north rim of the Grand Canyon, where Shelby settled into her tree hammock. It was a phenomenal day, m,b, s & t
