If you are going to stay anywhere in SouthEast Utah, I strongly suggest Recapture Lodge in Bluff. It was homey, reasonable, close to everything and full of interesting folks.

Wind.
Dawn the next morning from parking spot at the start of the South Dike. Usually not recommended as a campsite, though the climbers use it. Often, you get poltergeists.

A handsome Gopher Snake gliding by.
Then we kissed it goodbye and headed north to Bluff and Comb Ridge.
