Mid Calf

After going to Capitol Reef we headed over to our new favorite spot...Mid Calf for a couple of nights of backpacking.

I love that my kids love to backpack with me!

I caught a little frog. It made me so happy!

It was a short but steep hike down to our destination and by the time we had dinner it was dark. The dinner however was awesome, steak and potatoes!

After dinner it was time for popcorn and a movie. The movie was the Big Year, we have to watch it once a year while we backpack and this was the trip.

What a view to wake up to.

The next morning we rolled out of bed really early, 11am, and decided to hike down the river the opposite way we did the last time we were here.

Eliza took a turn and caught a big one

Jack caught one too. He actually caught quite a few fish on our trip.

We had to navigate some logs

And go under some logs. Those flash floods must wild.

We didn't see anybody on our hike down but Jack found evidence of a raccoon!

We made it to Quick Calf our destination for the day and it was amazing.
