Citadel

 We finally got to go on a hike that I have been wanting to explore for a while, the Citadel.  It is a ruin on Cedar Mesa that is built on land that juts out into the canyon.  The ruins are on the sides like a fortress.  It was an amazing hike, a little scary with kids, but amazing.
 This little rock is holding up a huge rock, for now anyway
 We walked across this narrow neck of land to get to the ruins.  it was not too narrow, just sheer cliffs on either side, so we made James and Spencer stay back with the slow old people.

 Eating mangos at the top, the best part of any hike.
 James was especially excited to have Quicy and Adney with us.  It was a beautiful hike.
