Government Canyon State Natural Area

 

Sunday morning, I met up with my son and his family at Government Canyon State Natural Area. 

It was a little toasty for the 5-mile hike to get to and from the canyon area, and fairly arduous for a few of us who were not accustomed to such a long walk, but we made it, although Scarlet and I may have been a little worse for the wear.

While the surrounding area was beautiful, the much anticipated dinosaur tracks were not quite as impressive as I had hoped for.

Though it would have been better without the oppressive heat, it was still a really nice place for a family outing.
