This is our campsite at Goose Island BLM campground. We have the muddy Colorado River in our front yard and the red sandstone cliffs of Arches National Park on the opposite shore. A great home base for our exploration of the area.
On the weekends we stayed out of the national parks and found other places to explore. Our hiking today is to Fisher Towers, an interesting landscape very popular for rock climbers and also a recent TV commercial.
We didn't realize this until we were looking over the pictures at home. Look at the tower on the left side, near the top, there is a climber! We were taking pictures of the holes in the rocks near the middle.

Can you see our trail?
Now that we are on the other side of the tower, we can appreciate how high it is.
We zoomed in so you can see the climber on top of the tower.
The climbers on their way back down.
It's a long, long climb.
It was fascinating watching them, but not the sport for us.
On our way back to the parking lot in the distance and our lunch!
