Today we are riding along the Zion formation through deep sand and sagebrush surrounded by white cliffs. Passing through Elephant Cove and finally camping in a stand of ponderosa pines which is like an oasis at the base of an extinct volcano known as Mt. Trumbell. I am happy happy happy! By this time of the journey I have not showered for 4 days - LOVE those american super cleansing towels though - BUT SO need a real shower!
