While still lodging in Moab we took a day to hike Canyonlands National Park. What a difference in landscape in this park. Murphy's Overlook Point and loop trail is a 12 mile round trip hike. It began as a leisurely walk with canyon views, the Green River and La Sal mountains in the distance. The vastness of this canyon is quite astounding as you can see for miles and miles. Next we headed to the Murphy Loop Trail. We must not have read the fine print for the trail description because this trail required a 1400 foot elevation change descending a mesa into the canyon. Going down was not only strenuous but very difficult for someone with a short stride. Once down in the canyon it was intensely hot with no breeze at all. We began the actual loop part of this trail but it was 7 miles in wide open sun and we actually didn't bring enough water. So after hiking a couple of miles we turned around to make the trek back up the Mesa.
We learned a lot today. Lowlanders such as ourselves have some difficulty hiking with quick elevation change. Lesson learned. And next time we know to begin as early as possible.

The next day we set out to enjoy another day of hiking in Canyonlands NP with vistas at a cooler temperature. Mesa Arch was a short hike but a favorite of many photographers. Then we went on to Aztec Butte and Granary. Climbing over the buttes required some scrambling which made me feel like I did when I was a little girl (and a lot like a g
goat!).
