Staircase Rapids — Sunday, Aug. 25, 2024

What a beautiful way to celebrate 108 years of National Parks and 23 years of marriage. Cool but sunny, the weather was perfect.

We arrived at about 10:30am on a Sunday morning and got one of the last parking spots. Gravel portion of the road was a bit washboardy but we just slowed down and made it fine. Took a little side quest to see the Big Cedar, dang that thing WAS big! Enjoyed scrambling over to the waters edge and the beautiful green hue of the deeper pools.
