Meet you in Zion

There are few things I love in life more than camping, hiking, planning, and picture taking. That's what my weekend proved.

Step 1: make the drive to Zion National Park

Step 2: find a camping spot

Step 3: find a map of the park and let the adventures begin.

Panda and Teddy you would have loved all of the wildlife. Ie; stinkbug

If you've never been to Zion's before, my favorite hike there is Angel's Landing. Luckily we finished the hike with about 20 minutes of daylight left, and the rain was just a light sprinkle when we were on top. It could have been really bad if it rained more while we were hiking the narrow cliff to the top. You basically hold on to a chain and pray that you aren't clumsy enough to trip/slip. So much fun.

This picture is almost at the top, where the chain part begins.

Once we made it to the top... before my hair started standing on end from the soon to be lightening storm

On top of the world

If you look at the larger file of this photo you can see that there's a double rainbow, not just the one! This is on top of Angels landing as well.


The next morning we hiked the Narrows, which I wasn't able to do the last time I came. It was an adventure, that's for sure! I knew that a lot of the hike involved wading in the water (Teddy and Becca did you just think of that choir song I used to sing?), but I didn't realize that ALL of the hike was trudging through at least 1 foot deep of harsh current. And some of it involved me swimming with backpack overhead. Definitely a fun experience.

It sprinkled a couple times during the day, this is one of the water run offs. Good thing there wasn't a flash flood!



The virgin river... trying not to drop our camera's and phones in the water

The water was FREEZING. And the walls of the narrows were so high that the sun barely ever made an appearance.




Such a fun weekend! All the things I love crammed into two days.
