For such a terrifying night, I sure got a good night’s sleep. I got up just in time to make it to my morning ride. On one of the trails at Yosemite, I noticed horseshoe tracks. “Now, that is what I should be doing,” I thought, and vowed to find some stables at King’s Canyon. I rode this beautiful Palomino named Henry. The only other people out on the ride were family friends of the guide/owner, a lady and her son, Brice. She is married to someone who works for the NPS, and her son is named after the canyon. She was telling me about all the places they’ve lived and things they’ve done, and I was like, “Can we trade lives?” We rode along the bottom of the canyon next to the river, and it was beautiful and peaceful. Maybe just a little bit boring; sometimes my horse would go super slow, and then run to catch up, and those were the best parts. Regardless, I was really excited to wear my cowboy boots for something other than dancing. After the ride, I planned to do a 9 mile
National parks, hiking, canyoneering, and other weird sight-seeing
