Day ten was a travel day. We left Moab and the red cliffs of southern Utah behind and headed North. We passed through Green Valley, UT and stopped at the John Wesley Powell River museum. Watched a movie on the adventures of this early pioneer who first explored the length of the Colorado River. Had lots of discussion about how challenging it must have been to ride that river in a wooden boat. Some of them did not make it. Heading North, the landscape slowly changed. I was really surprised how barren the central east plateau of Utah appeared. The cliffs began to change from red to chalk and the vegetation disappeared. Certainly appeared to be an ancient sea bed to me.

After Price, UT, the climb began. Up to 7,000 ft before descending down into the Provo Valley. We made a pit stop in Orem, UT for supplies (ice cream) and headed back up into the mountains through Heber valley and over the hill to Park City. Beautiful sight to see in the Summer. We will be here in Park City until Saturday morning. This is kind of our rest stop before moving on. Lots of laundry to do.
