It is not an easy hike!
I am glad to let you know that Bryant's stubbornness won and we made it!
I wanted to go up a little further...which became a little further...and a little further!
A couple of looking up pictures...
up to what is called the "saddle"...
with the eventual goal (next year) of hiking up to Flatiron another mile according to some a straight up rock scramble!
I had gone further than I had planned with Bryant waiting at the waterfall so I turned around there at the saddle and headed down!
looking down the path...
and once down a little...taking a picture back up! Meeting back up with Bryant and heading down! We heard of a rattlesnake on the trail so I ventured ahead to try to get a picture before he/she disappeared...but, no luck this time! Perhaps a good thing! We were able to have a day of rest before heading out!
The drive through Phoenix was the easiest, least stressful we have had! The lack of cars on the road at times was eerie.
We got to Page Arizona close to five in the afternoon. All of our slot canyon tours were cancelled, so we started looking for things to do here. We also got an email yesterday that our Capitol Reef Campground reservations are cancelled!
and today we took Moxie to Lake Powell so she could go swimming! 
Oh, we do have one happy dog! 
She has had to be on a leash (except when at DTRVP dog park) for months...and since there was NO ONE on the beach and no park workers (parks are "no fee" and pretty much closed up) she got be be off leash for swimming AND for returning the small hike back to the jeep! We are planning a few sight-seeing drives from here...through monument Valley and hopefully to the Grand Canyon north rim since we are here for a few more days! We are getting spoiled by the lack of people out and around...as we slowly head north!
