Day three we headed west and tried out Willis Creek slot canyon. The drive on the Scenic Byway 12 was so beautiful. So much to see in all the land formations.
When we got there, the weather was a little cold, so I was worried it would be a bit miserable. But like the couple days before, it just ended up being so beautiful and perfect weather for hiking. We had a great time adventuring through these slots, which allowed for easier breathing and not hard for some of us who are a little more claustrophobic.
It was fun jumping over the little stream of water that ran through the canyon. The kids found lizards again and lots of rocks to climb on.
:: and this is the number one reason I love family adventures ::
We ended up spending more time at Willis Creek that we didn't leave as much time for Kodachrome Park. It was beautiful and I'm happy we went, but it wasn't my most favorite park. However, I think it's because we felt rushed and knew we still had to drive for a while to get back to Escalante. So I don't think I gave it a fair chance :) We'll just have to check it out again!
We did meet the most lovely couple from Germany though. That was probably my favorite part. Such cool people and I even tried to say a couple of my German phrases that I know. They said good job, but I think they pittied me, ha ha! Guten Tag. The lady was so sweet and said we should have a family picture and took this picture for us. I adore her for that! We're making our way to Germany someday!

But the sun going down and that full moon!! THAT was the perfect ending to our last night. ♥♥
(We also loved sharing a big pot of beef stew in our tent!!)
