Peterson Family Reunion - 9 Mile Canyon

The second day of our reunion was also the day we celebrated Clark's 30th birthday!!!  Since we've been married he's had to share his birthday with quite a few family trips and reunions...but he got some hiking in, a round of golf, a trip to Cafe Rio, and chocolate cheesecake...so I'm thinking it was a pretty ok day for him!

It was special to go to 9 Mile Canyon because my Grandpa Peterson loved that place.  My Grandma felt him with us that day.  The day was spent driving from site to site and hiking to find the petroglyphs, granaries, and shelters left behind by the Freemont and Ute cultures.  Caden kept calilng them alien drawings and loved to make up stories to interpret the drawings for us.  











Hiking down the ridge.

I spy Grammy, Ethan, Caden and Grandpa!
  The rock art in the "world's longest art gallery" and the landscape is impressive!
