Today we hiked up the 'portal trail', We were supposed to hike Moab Rim but the winds picked up again, and it was too dangerous. The portal was 1000 feet up and it took us an hour and a half to reach the top. 1 1/2 miles. Once up there we ate our celebratory apples. Mine green, Tommy's red. Always. The view is spectacular. But wouldn't you know it, Tommy forgot the camera. We used the phone but it does no justice. From the peak you can see part of Moab and as far as 30 miles out. The Canyonlands were visible and you could see the natural arches, which are amazing. Gloria and Ivan, our guides, (well, they actually run this RV park, but they invited us to go with them so we jumped on it), they were great! It was a walk in the park for them. Me and Tommy, not so much! On the way down I twisted my ankle and I'm hoping it doesn't swell because tomorrow there is another trail we want to do. They are endless out here. They take sports to the extreme here and are absolutely crazy where they go mountain biking! CRAZY!!! Here are some pictures of today.
