Time for our last backpack of the year. Needles - Canyonlands for two nights.
We stopped in Moab for some pizza at Canyon Pizza Co. I love this pizza place. We ate plenty of pieces and then headed to Elephant Canyon Trailhead.
We arrived at CP1 to a visitor and ended up inviting her to stay at our site. Somehow she missed her EC1 site and I kept thinking how lucky she was that cool people like us were the ones to share this site.
It had rained just a bit hiking in but we were able to set up camp, eat an Uncrustable (since we weren't very hungry thanks to the pizza), catch a rainbow at the back of our camp, and see the sunset out the front before the rain came back.
We hung out in the tent listening to the rain on and off and heard the flapping of crow wings through our camp. Then the wind came. It blew and blew from about 9pm-2am. It was especially fun when the sand would come up under the rain fly and pelt you a little. Go backpacking they said. It'll be fun they said. Ha ha.
