Day 25: Driving to Moab, Utah

We woke up this morning, ate cereal and made coffee, eggs and sausage. We still had 10+ hours of driving ahead of us today. As we crossed from Oregon into Idaho and Utah, the geography and climate changed dramatically. We were driving through red canyons and sandstone, passing creeks that were dyed red from all the sand. We stopped along the way for lunch and dinner and watched the sun go down which heightened the color of the sand stone on all the mountains. The whole area glowed.

It was pretty quiet and uneventful afternoon. Music paved the way for us until we were just outside of Moab. This is where we stopped for the night; at a rest area. Once we got ourselves situated, we decided to finish watching Hitch because we weren’t quite ready for bed. Within a few hours we gave in to sleep once more. We had a long day ahead of us tomorrow, so we needed to be well rested and hydrated.
