Cliff jumping, fire twirling, and red hills.

I had kind of a killer work schedule this past week so I had to try and squeeze in the fun before work, in between shifts, etc. Last Friday we went out to the Kelly cliffs to do a little jumping. The river comes at the cliffs in a near 90-degree angle, digging away at the river bottom, making it thankfully deep enough for some sweet cliff drops. Too far to the left or right though, and you'll be eating washed stones...

David, climbing up the 5.8 pitch rock to jump again!

On Monday evening, David and I continued to drive down the crazy dirt track that is the Gros Ventre Road, and met up with some spectacular red hills, Sedona style.

Sedona's red rocks...so beautiful!

Looking back towards the road entrance, the Tetons loomed in the mist over the farms in the valley.

Magical Tetons.

We picked a campsite next to Crystal Creek and set up shop around sunset. It was a beautiful evening.

Not a bad room for the evening.

The full moon greeted us early in the evening, providing magical light through the trees.

These next few images are the product of getting creative with fire. For any that know me but don't know this, I used to be a baton twirler in college and I twirled fire on a regular basis...well Monday night seemed like a good time to pick it up again :)

David's fire explosion!

Well that's all for adventures for now. I am in the start of a three day weekend and ECSTATIC about it! Backpacking for the rest of the weekend. Much love ♥
