DAY 71

Escalante to Boulder

Uphill, uphill, uphill... Downhill through red/white sandstone caverns and canyons.  We stopped at Calf Creek and had a healthy lunch for a change.  We'd given up on trying to be healthy as it is rather difficult if not impossible at times.  

With a 4,300ft climb looming on the morrow, and a town only 20km away, we decide to push to Boulder, uphill, uphill, some parts 14% uphill!  The scenery was just absurdly good, we are very spoilt.  And despite it being a very tough UPHILL ride, we both really enjoyed it in a sick sadistic way.
