The second half of our long holiday weekend looked quite a lot like the first half. Again, Milton and A did the Millcreek hike first thing in the morning, although on Sunday we went a little further upstream, crossing over by the beaver trees (former trees felled by beavers) and coming back down on the other side. It had been a while since we'd been on that side and the trail has not seen nearly as much foot traffic, even fading out in a couple of places.
There was certainly plenty of foot traffic in the left hand fork of the canyon, where the waterfalls are. Sunday was apparently the busiest day: on Monday, we talked with a guy who was housesitting in one of the homes near the entrance to the canyon and he said that cars were parking all the way out to the main road and three separate ambulances came in Sunday to rescue people. Sorry we missed that (sarcasm).
H and A's late morning bike rides were similar too: A did the 21 mile version while H went a little further, starting up the hill past the Arches NP entrance a ways to put together a 24 mile ride. On Monday, the ranger hanging out at the Arches entrance told A that they only had to have one ambulance on Sunday, so Arches for the win!
The Moab Arts Fest was going on all weekend, and they lucked out on the weather, as after Friday high temperatures didn't even get to 90 - a gift for this time of year. And we lucked out too, as we were able to keep windows and doors open a lot of the time and the A/C didn't even come on. Pretty sure at least that will be diffferent the next time we get down there.
