Zion National Park

After travelling to the Grand Canyon and Havasupai Indian Reservation we went to Zion National Park in Utah. We enjoyed the sites, mountains and hiked of course. One popular hike we did is called The Narrows and hikes upstream in the Virgin River for four miles or so. The canyon walls narrow and are incredibly steep. Really a fun hike, especially for the 94 degree weather in the sun!


There was a side creek flowing into the Virgin River that we hiked up for a while.


More awesome canyon pictures!!


Another favorite hike of mine, having done it once before when Sarah and I travelled to Zion three years ago. This hike is called Angel's Landing, 2.5 miles up, climbing about 1500 feet in elevation. It switchbacks quite a bit, then follows the top ledge for a bit before reaching the end. The train is also quite steep and has chains for hand railings along some of it. A few spots in the trail have a 1200 foot drop on both sides of the 3 foot wide path!! Awesome!!!


Sarah and I, what a great friend she is. I'm so glad we were able to go on another road trip together. This is number five for us both.
