Red Cliffs

We headed over to Red Cliffs Desert Reserve with the kids and saw some great scenery on a perfect day. There are 1000 year old Anasazi ruins up on an overlooking hill, which the kids enjoyed playing around.

We then followed the river up the canyon to some small pools and falls.

Gretchen managed to keep everything but her feet dry until the very end and then she fell in the river while we were cleaning off her shoes before getting into the car. She spent the rest of the trip telling Becket how naked she was.
