Day Twenty-Nine Morning

Next day, I went for a mule ride down the canyon :) It takes roughly a whole day to go to the bottom and we did only a half day trip. But it was quite some fun to ride the mighty mules. My mule was called Rooster and you can see him in one of the pictures :)

Day Twenty-Eight Evening

After Wallstreet, I headed towards Grand Canyon and made it there in the early evening. Just on time to see the sunset from the edge of the cliff ...

Day Twenty-Eight - Wallstreet

The following morning I spent in Zion as well. I got up quite early and was the first one to start walking in the river bed up in the canyon. One has to walk in the water as the canyon gets so narrow that there is no path on the side. This place is potentially quite dangerous as floods can fill up the canyon so fast that one would not have time to back up - see a photo with a sign explaining the danger of floods. I walked 3 hours up in the canyon and then back. One could walk through the whole canyon but will need to camp overnight (and a camping permit correspondingly). In fact on my way up I met a person coming from the other side who had done exactly that.

So far you are probably wondering about the funny title of the post. Wallstreet is the name of a particular part of the canyon where the walls are so narrow and straight, hence the name.
