When we were on the Queen’s Garden trail we came across an area where people had stacked up rocks into tower. We made our own stacks, and Sophi’s stack fell on her finger. The hoodoos looked like statues with clouds on top. We went through some arches/doorways in the rocks. We could see two natural bridges from the trail. It wasn’t too hard of a hike. But we did realize that you should take water, and you shouldn’t drink all your water before you start going back up.
The rock shop was awesome. There was a big variety of rocks. We couldn’t believe how much petrified wood could cost depending on the size and shape.
On our way to the North Rim we saw a once in a lifetime snow. We had a snowball fight on our way to the park. We saw a lot of watch for animal signs, and we saw sheep, chipmunks, pronghorn sheep, and squirrels.
The north rim was scary because it was so high. It was beautiful. There were a lot of trees (instead of the shrubs we’ve seen in the past few days).

Will will be so sorry he missed those rock stacks- that is one of his favorite things and he started doing it on one of Ms. Littlejohn's trips.
