orange juice.\u00a0 Way better than my normal backpacking breakfast.\u00a0 The eggs came from the chickens in their backyard too.\u00a0 They also gave me four boiled eggs for the road.\u00a0 That&#8217;ll do it.<\/p><p>Kristi offered to drop me off at the trailhead instead of walking through town, and I took her up on that.\u00a0 I decided to take one last alternate from the Hayduke.\u00a0 The usual route stays on roads all day through BLM land, and they looked pretty flat and straight.\u00a0 That didn&#8217;t look too exciting to me considering my past couple of days across the Arizona Strip.\u00a0 However, I noticed that there was a wilderness area directly north of Colorado City with some trails and tracks that would take me back to the Hayduke.\u00a0 That looked much more appealing than road walking, so I opted to do that instead.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7228e9d

wilderness.\u00a0 I was immediately surrounded by sandstone cliffs with lots of different colors: red, white, pink, and orange.\u00a0 There were different shapes and swirls in the formations, which was very scenic, and I stopped pretty often to take pictures.\u00a0 The area reminded me a lot of the Wave.\u00a0 I did have to do a bit more climbing on my alternate route, but it was only about a

to camp.\u00a0 However, it just didn&#8217;t look that great, and it didn&#8217;t look like there was much in the way of firewood in the area.\u00a0 I could see down to the Virgin River, which is where the trail went, and it looked like there were some flat spots immediately down there.\u00a0 I also had a waypoint for a good campsite down there.\u00a0 I decided to head down to the river to camp instead.\u00a0 It was a pretty short distance but a bit steep down to the river down a gully that the bighorn sheep obviously make a ton of use of.\u00a0 Not too hard, just had to watch my footing because it was a lot of loose sand and rocks mixed together.\u00a0 I got down to the river, and there was a flat spot right there.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\">I set up my tent and immediately started a fire in a fire ring that I built.\u00a0 I wanted to get some good coals going for my dinner.\u00a0 For dinner, I cut up some potatoes and roasted them in foil with oil, and I had a 1.7 lb. bone-in ribeye as well that I roasted on the fire.\u00a0 Both came out really good, perfectly done, and I had that in addition to some salad and a 24 oz. beer.\u00a0 Since this was my last night on the trail, I really wanted to go all out, and I knew I would have some time to do it with the fire.\u00a0 This is actually the first fire that I&#8217;ve made myself this entire trip.\u00a0 There was one with the rafters, but they made that.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\">I couldn&#8217;t quite finish the steak and potatoes, and I didn&#8217;t touch the brownie I had for dessert because I was too full.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t get to say that too often long-distance backpacking.\u00a0 I boxed up the steak and potatoes in my food container, and I figured I&#8217;d have that for breakfast tomorrow morning.\u00a0 It&#8217;s cool here, so I&#8217;m not too worried about refrigeration.\u00a0 Then I just had a campfire to sit by for the rest of the night, which was great entertainment and nice ambiance, minus some excitement when one of the river rocks in my fire ring exploded.\u00a0 A great last night on the trail!<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\">It&#8217;s supposed to be a cooler night tonight, and I&#8217;m camped right next to this river.\u00a0 The first thing I&#8217;m going to have to do tomorrow morning is wade right through it, and I&#8217;m not really looking forward to that.\u00a0 However, I&#8217;m only eight miles from the end of the trail, so I&#8217;ll just power through it to claim victory!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
