We started out with pancakes today. Jarek takes a turn manning the griddle.
After breakfast, we drove up the Moki Dugway. You can watch the video at the link.

After we were done with the Moki Dugway, we decided to continue on to Natural Bridges National Monument.
We got to the visitor center, but it was closed. We were able to get our passport stamp from a folder on the door. You could tell that they didn’t get a lot of visitors there. The campground was open and there were a few other people there.
We decided to do the scenic drive and see what there was to see. There were a few short hikes off the drive to a couple overlooks.
The first bridge was Sipapu bridge.
Arya was very excited to get out and look at it, having been cooped up in the car for the last few hours.

Our next stop was the Horsecollar House overlook. There is a pueblo ruins visible across the valley after a short hike. We took turns hiking out, leaving the babies in the car.
