Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.
I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight.
The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d
Yeah we might do that tomorrow we’re doing both sides of canyonlands so we might not have time. I was actually pretty scared by the delicate arch hike. It’s actually pretty sketchy at the end I can see why there’s been several deaths there in the last few years. My girlfriend was way too scared to do the final part. I was pretty nervous climbing through the bottom of the arch but made it.
Did Capitol reef yesterday and arches today. Moab is an awesome town! Doing canyonlands tomorrow then we’re off to the Grand Canyon. We also checked out goblin valley state park and that was very cool.
