White House

No, we’re not in Washington, D.C. (yet). We’re staying at the White House Campground in Utah. It’s named for the white rocks you can see in the picture behind me (although they look different in late afternoon light). This place is the starting point for the Paria River Canyon Trail. If you start here and don’t mind getting your feet wet and are not too scared of flash floods, in three or four days you’ll emerge at the confluence with the Colorado River (where we found the fruit trees).

I think I’ll pass.
