We left Saturday morning and arrived around lunchtime. Stopped at the visitors center for a map and then headed to a u-pick orchard in the park for lunch and to get some apples.
Attempted a hike but after about a 1/4 mile we weren't sure if we were on the right path and it was hot so we headed to the hotel for a swim. On the way back to the hotel we passed a spot that had some petroglyphs and it was right when a park ranger was doing a presentation on them so we stopped for that.
At the hotel we had the pool and hot tub to ourselves and this was Brooklyn's favorite part of the trip. Thomas and I were taking turns swimming laps and competing to see who could swim the length of the pool and back fastest and Brooklyn wanted to join. She swam with her puddle jumper on the length of the pool! And without any assistance.
After swimming we cleaned up and went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner and then relaxed at our hotel.
The next morning we were up early to hike and explore. We went on three separate hikes and once it started to heat up too much were headed on the way home.
On our way out of the park we stopped at the Old Fruita Schoolhouse that was built in the early 1900's.
A quick fun trip to top off our adventures this summer.
