We tried our best to beat the crowds. Arriving in the dark, we took our spot in the carpark and made ready to sleep for the night. It was not a restful time with cars intermittently pulling up at all times. Our sleep broken by headlights beaming through the darkness and cars parking too close by. It always baffles me that human nature to huddle together as a pack, rather than spreading out so each person has their own space. I’m glad we snuck in a midnight jaunt armed with head torches to see the impressive horseshoe bend... because watching the sunrise while the rocks swarmed with 100 other people was not so serene as we’d planned. . . . . . . #hiphikers #hiphikerstravel #budgettraveller #adventureislife #travelnow #travelblogs #coupletrip #adventurouslife #longtermtravel #travelphotography #travelphotoblog #travellight #travelmoments #travelmemories #digitalnomads #optoutside #arizona_hiking #hikearizona #explorearizona #visitarizona #igsouthwest #divinedeserts #grandcanyonnationalpark #canyonlands #southrim #nationalparklife #natparkexplorer
