Monday morning was a relaxing, lazy process. Everyone had time to tend to personal needs and interests, explore the town, laze about, etc. In the early afternoon we headed to Kolob Canyon for a three + hour hike. Alas, Tristan was on her slow return from San Francisco but was definitely with us in spirit.
Kolob Canyon is a part of Zion National Park with an entrance off I-15 just 25 minutes south of Cedar City. It had been very much on Abby's radar for several weeks before departure. The hike was absolutely stunning and restorative. We walked the Middle Fork Taylor Creek trail that ends in a two blind arches in one rock face. The sound of the falling melting snow dripping from the rock's ceiling added to magic. Fortunately, no rattlesnakes.
We made it back to the hotel in time for Mark to pick up Tristan at the bus stop at one of the local gas stations. We were happy to have her back with us. Dinner back at Don Miguel's was just right.

Touring is so magical when it affords the opportunity to see parts of this country you may never otherwise experience in your life. We are very lucky.
