This year was yet another fun and adventurous year at Canyonlands! I would say the only bad part was ALLLLLLLL the CRAZY mosquito's, never has it been that bad before, but even with everyone getting eaten alive we had a great time. We found a really cool waterfall we called "Chocolate Falls", you will see in the pics why we called it that. We did a couple little hikes, played games, hung out, ate great food, and absolutely enjoyed one another's company. A scary thing that happened was Justin got lost one night, he went on a little hike at almost dark with no flashlight and couldn't find his way back, which by the way he was chastised for that! We spent 4 hours trying to find him and almost had the rangers involved until Jake, Shayla, and Dax found him at 1:30 in the morning. It was awful the things we were all imagining happening but oh how grateful we all were that he was okay. It was really scary, but I do believe that with prayers from us to find him and a prayer from Justin to be found, we were able to find him. We were all so relieved. Thanks to all the fam for making it such an amazing time. We love you all!
All the fam!!!
