I rolled up to this tiny park late in the afternoon, hoping to get a campsite. All I knew was it was marked as a park on my atlas, and I hoped it would be better than staying in Mexican Hat after driving through Monument Valley. I was so pleasantly surprised by how gorgeous the view was, and I had the place to myself. The campgrounds itself is pretty bare bones and exposed, but it was such a nice spot to cook dinner and enjoy the view.

Did this as my first full moon night hike soon after I moved to WY from sunny CA. It was gorgeous and fun and so cold at midnight in September. There was wind and hail and whiskey at the top. It was so worth it, but I also bought my first puffy jacket the next day.
