Day 6: Breathtaking

After five days of driving we enjoyed a relaxing day at our beautiful campground. In the afternoon we visited Horseshoe Bend and stopped at multiple vista points to view Lake Powell from above. I have no words to describe the landscape here; it is absolutely breathtaking and humbling. To view Horseshoe Bend we had to walk about one and a half miles, a detail we somehow missed. Without sunscreen and only  a few half full water bottles we had found in the truck, we followed the trail to Horseshoe Bend. Needless to say, we got burned by the strong and unforgiving Arizona midday sun.
This morning we also discovered that all our IPhones showed different times and compass readings (Arizona is on Mountain Time, but does not have daylight savings time).  We did figure out that some of our IPhones interpreted our location as Arizona, and some as Utah, as the campground sits on the border. That explains the discrepancy in times. We still do not know why our compass readings are different, but I definitely would not want to rely on an IPhone compass in the wilderness.
