... and down again into the Canyon

We didn't know how lucky we were that it had rained only a few days ago - we got to swim in the canyon!!! A very rare thing as the water is only there for a couple of weeks. Believe me after the hike up in the heat the cool water was a delight. Addison thought is was fantastic too. We were happy to cool him down - we were always on hydration watch (and actually discovered that a little juice mixed with water via a straw is a great hydration tool) We hiked down those stairs into the bottom of the canyon where it was lush and green - a sweet little oasis. However in order to get out of the canyon we had to go back up another set of very steep stairs.
