MOAB:  DAY 2!

After a filling and delicious breakfast at Castle Valley Inn B&B, we took the owner's advice and went for a hike outside of Arches NP.  While the hike to Fisher Towers was rated "easy" in the guide book, nobody except an 18 year old with a death wish would agree.  It was 4 miles of climbing up and down the beautiful red rocks.  When we started the temperature was about 55 degrees, it was a hot and sun lit 81 when we finished.  We returned to the B&B for a refreshing shower, then went to our favorite place to eat in Moab - the Moab Brewing Company.  We decided on a late lunch/early diner because of the Memorial Day weekend crowds.  The finished the afternoon with a visit to the Castle Hills Winery.  Now we have collapsed in our room.  Tomorrow we continue our drive west, to Ely and then Reno, Nevada.  Enjoy the pretty pictures!
Fisher Towers Hike:  at the beginning
Fisher Towers:  continues & we see rock climbers

Which Way to go?
. . .  depends on who you are

Met this rock climber later on during the day. 
 His name is Eric and he is from Long Island. 
 He was learning to rock climb with a local teacher, Chris.
And my flower photo of the day!
