We were super sad to say goodbye to the Torlands, but they had real life responsibilities and we got to hold off on those a bit longer. We got to see so many more cool things! The Arizona dessert is beautiful and we loved our drive through the Painted Dessert and Monument Valley. We checked out the Glen Canyon Damn and the Horseshoe Bend Campground, where we took one look at the insane drop-offs and decided it wasn't exactly ideal for our family, or my nerves.
Instead, we found a perfect little spot on top of the Cedar Mesa. Our spot was technically by a radio tower, but the girls had lots of room to roam. From there, we spent a day at Natural Bridge National Park, which was really neat! The girls checked out the ruins at Hovenweep, but it was a little toasty for Indie and I so we hung out in the shade. At Mesa Verde, the girls did the Junior Ranger Program and it really motivated them to learn about the Anasazi Ruins (we also did it at Canyonlands, but it actually distracted them from the amazing views while we were there.) At the ruins, they each earned their Junior Ranger Badge and enjoyed the experience!
