Our original intent was to go to the 4 corners. This is the only place in the United States where 4 states (Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona) meet in one location. There is not much to see there, but you don't get the opportunity to be in 4 different states at the same time very often. We thought it would be fun to have a different girl in every state.
After our trip to the 4 corners we were going to take the l---o---n---g way home so we could do some shopping. On the way we decided we would go to Hovenweep National Park. We thought it wasn't too far away. Well it ended up to be a lot farther away than we thought.
It took over an hour to get there. We weren't planning to do any hiking, but we figured since we had already come this far. So we took a two hour hike to see all the indian ruins.
There are several buildings all spaced around a little canyon (or would you call it a ravine?). It was a great hike since you would hike for awhile and then stop and see a building, then hike for a while and stop and see the next building. 
The girls had such a great time. We are glad we decided to go on the hike and see everything while we were there.
We even got to see a few bunny rabbits along the way. They must be getting ready for Easter!
What a fun trip! I love that all of your girls were able to be in a different state at the same time! I love going somewhere for Spring Break--after the long winter it's wonderful to get away!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! And how fun! I love that you had 4 girls in 4 different states all at the same time!
ReplyDeleteOh, that sounds like such fun! I miss red rock. I hope we can get some in this year!
ReplyDeleteI love living vicariously through your adventures. I think you should blow up that picture of your girls in each state and hang it on your wall. Priceless!
ReplyDeleteWOW what a wonderful adventure. I love the idea of the girls being in different states. I wish I could go on a trip like that. Loves to all.
