Castlewood State Park

So we tried going hiking Memorial Day weekend.  We went to a new place I was really excited about.  And, just like usual, we got there and it was a big disappointment.  Hiking in Utah is so much better!  Anyway, we got there and did a little 1 mile loop and then went back to the car to go to a longer hike overlooking a river.  Well, apparently the roads are closed on the weekends.  Who in the world decided that?  To add insult to injury, we paid $10 for a park entrance fee.  I was so irritated I went back to the visitor's center and got our money back on our way out.  

So when Blake had some more time off, we decided to go back to the one place we have had good luck hiking, Castlewood State park.  We had a great time looking at the river on our hike, going down hundreds of stairs, going in a tunnel under the train tracks, and ending up at a little beach.  Isaac and James took turns riding in the backpack.  It was a very coveted position.  Isaac did a good job hiking, too, for a little bit.
