Long Canyon wasn't long enough so we kept heading west and drove all the way out to Mineral Bottom.

I'm pretty sure we made for home in the dark after those photos were taken.
I'm still amazed at how much we managed to squeeze in that day. Not that it is rare to participate in three or more completely different activities in one day around Moab, but this trip sure makes for some highly prized memories.
