Today we sat around, overlooking the valley of gods from our prime campsite. We were the only ones there and we absolutely loved watching the sun come up, changing to colours of the rocks to a deep red.

Around lunchtime we left and drove to see the Arch canyon which reminded me of Kings canyon in Aussie. We ate our lunch looking up at the canyon. Fresh rolls with cottage cheese and coleslaw. Surprisingly delicious!

We started driving down a rutted red dirt road, but the no trespassing signs kept putting me off. But we had to drive about 2 miles before we could find a turn around point. at this point, I’m sick of dusty dirt roads and may have to rethink if we drive to the Arctic Ocean.

From arches canyon we had to backtrack to keep heading north. We found a national forest campground in devils canyon for just $10 a night. Little did I know we were at even higher altitude than when we were sick.

At 7400 feet we are both feeling breathless from exertion. Whether it’s from Covid or normal at 2200 metres, I’m not sure. But I’m keen to get to lower levels. We’re headed to arches national park tomorrow which is at about 4-5000 feet. No doubt it will be busy on a Saturday.

For dinner we had pasta and a sauce. I wanted garlic bread to go with it, but we don’t eat butter. So we improvised. Chop some fresh garlic, put in a pan with some olive oil, and fry bread in it. It was delicious!
