We packed up camp nice and early and headed into town. The car needed an oil change. So we dropped it off and walked to the Golden Stake Restaurant for an amazingly cheap breakfast. After, we drove to Canyonlands National Park. On the way we stopped at Hole in the Rock. It was a hole in the rock. You would really have to go there to understand. At Canyonlands we set up camp at a nice site, waited out the mid-day heat and a little rain shower. There is a shocking amount of rain here in the desert. Then we went on the Slickrock hike. It was 2.5 miles and took us about an hour. It was all on rock, really looked like the desert.
In the evening we came back to the site, grilled, drank, and hung out until it was dark. In the middle of the night it rained-- poured actually. The lightening was really bright in the tents and the thunder was deafening in the canyon.
