Grants

Alarm went off at 5 am but I was already awake and ready to start moving.  It was an easy morning walk and the sun set the canyon walls alight.  The road snaked through the canyon and into the outskirts of town.

 The trail goes right through Grants. There will be the usual town chores but that's tomorrow.  Today is for eating, resting, and catching up with friends and family back home.

A couple of noteworthy items:  we saw a yellow tanager bird drinking out of a cow trough 2 weeks ago, and 2 days ago in the badlands we saw a western collard lizard.
