Notes: This is the second year that I've gathered teachers and headed to Utah to kick off our Spring Break and the start of the warm season. This year we drove to Canyonlands NP and camped just outside the park at ???CG. We grabbed the last spot, phew. Day one was Lathrop Trail which took through an old pasture and then had us drop 1,500 feet down to the canyon floor. The view were amazing, you could see the Colorado and all the carving work it had been doing.
The second hike was a stone through away in Dead Horse Point State Park. We didn't see any dead horses but we did get see more amazing sites but this time from the other side of the canyon.
