This one time we went to Martin's Cove! I had never been there before so it was really cool for me. We went to Independence Rock and then off to Martin's Cove. Warning: I look like a large lemon drop.
There it is! Independence Rock.
This not so little guy scared me to death. No it's not a rattler but just as terrifying when you come around the bend and there he is. I made Brandon take the picture.
On top of the rock people have carved their names into the rock. It was so cool because even though some of them are super old they are really clear. Something we noticed was how awesome their handwriting was for being carved into rock.
On top of the rock! You could see forever off the top of it.
Feeling pretty good when we started!
I think that Split Rock was supposed to be behind us, hence our 'splitting'.
Deer! We also saw a lot of antelope.
These statues are in tribute to the men that carried the pioneers across the Sweetwater River.
Camille, Brandon and I decided to go down the side of the rock instead of the back, "easier" way. This is us at the bottom of the rock. Yup, definitely climbed down that at 7 months pregnant!
After Independence Rock we went to Martin's Cove. We walked from the visitor's center to the Cove, around the Cove and back to the visitor's center. A total of 5 miles. Brandon made me ride in the handcart on the way back, which was probably a good thing because I was pretty tired.
And finally the baby bunny that we saw on our way back from the statues. So cute!! Brandon took this picture too.
All in all it was a lot of fun!
