We spent our final morning camping hiking Black Canyon National Park.  We made a quick trip to see the Painted Wall, which is nearly twice as high as the Empire State Building. 


Once Miss Nora decided to rejoin the waking world we hiked out to Warner Point.

At this point in the trip, Mike's back had had enough of a 15 pound pack containing a 20 pound baby.

We made the long (five hour) drive back to Denver. Scrubbed more than a weeks worth of grime off ourselves and met Brendan and Sonya for sushi.  It was a great way to end a wonderful trip. 

We woke up early the next morning and headed for the midwest.  It would have been a much smoother drive than the trip out except the air conditioner kept interfering with the hybrid battery and shutting the car off. So we had to drive most of the way with no air conditioning. And it was almost 100 degrees. So we were once again disgustingly filthy and sweaty by the time we pulled into my parent's house Saturday evening.
