Bridge On Thursday
Thursday we hit a hiking trail down the river from us called the Negro Bill Canyon Trail and it is a two mile hike into the Canyon where it leads you to the Morning Glory Bridge, which is the picture of the day.
It was a really fun hike through the canyon of cottonwoods, willow trees, streams, boulders and sand trails. The weather was nice, but hot and we felt the sun beaming off every part of the canyon that day. But Dakota had a blast jumping in every swimming hole he could.
Negro Bill Canyon is named for William Granstaff, an African- American cattleman who ran his cattle in the canyon in the late 1870's. Although some have sought to rename the canyon because of a perceived derogatory stigma associated with the name, Ronald Coleman, an African-American professor of history at the University of Utah, urges the name be kept since it clearly recognizes the contributions of Utah's African-American pioneers.
Since this day was Cinco DeMayo, and we already had breakfast burrito's, we decided to keep it going and have Margarita's and Fajitas back at the camp.. This was out last night in the campsite, so we enjoyed it as much as we could.
Song of the Day:
Talking Heads - And She Was
