Day 40 - 93.42 Miles
Long Day in the Hot Sun
Hite Campground, Lake Powell, Glen Canyon, UT
We rolled out of Blanding early to start a long day with only one water stop about halfway in. We took a break early in the morning to hike for about a mile to some ancient Anasazi cliff dwellings - pretty spectacular, and worth the hike. We saw more Anasazi ruins along the way to the Natural Bridges National Monument, which contains three stone bridges carved by running water and other erosive forces. We hiked down below one of them to get some cool pictures that should be posted soon. Our day ended with 50 miles through a really cool canyon, down to Lake Powell.
