After leaving Bryce Canyon we drove north and then finally turned back east on I-70. We stayed two nights and one day just across the Colorado border at Rabbit Valley, part of the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area.
We set up camp in a gravel parking lot with no amenities (no water, power, or facilities). It was scorching hot here - 99 degrees with no shade and not much of a breeze.
The horses had nice pens but no shade. We sponged them off a couple of times during the day.
To avoid the heat of the day, Mom and I left early for our ride.
The trails here were challenging and beautiful.
Mow and I doing a little rock climbing!

After riding we lazed around the trailers until it cooled off enough to go for a short hike. We walked the Trail Through Time hike that has dinosaur fossils in the rocks along the trail. Here are some vertebrae from a juvenile dinosaur. (these bones were about a foot tall each, the photo doesn't show scale well)

The dig site at the start of the trail where they have excavated many dinosaur remains.
Finally, Casper enjoyed exploring the parking lot before we departed.
