Zion National Park

We got to spend a wonderful 3 days in Zion National Park at the end of June! Unfortunately, Sterling wasn't able to join us, but he will be able to soon. He got to spend the weekend with Grandma Riding, and loved every minute of it! 

 Day 1, we hiked the Narrows, from bottom to top, probably just a few miles up. We wanted to go from top to bottom, but all the spots were filled for the weekend! Bummer :(

Beautiful spring

We were able to get permits to do the Subway hike from top to bottom for this trip, so we did that on Day 2. It was absolutely amazing--one of the coolest canyoneering experiences that we've ever had. We have a new video camera that we brought with us and filmed the hike...and then we accidentally deleted the whole thing when we got home. It's was an epic fail. The good news? We are more likely to go do the Subway again (not that we weren't itching to do it  again anyways) so we can film it again!

This hike is so spectacular, we can't put it into words. This photo doesn't do it justice, and it's a really awesome photo. Anyways, if you ever want to go with us, just holler. We'll go in a heartbeat. 


Day 3, we hiked Angel's Landing--Not the sissy way. We went all the way to the top! It was a fantastic view of Zion park, and we got to see what hikes we want to do next time we go down :) We filmed this hike as well, and it was lost with the rest of the recordings. But again, photos don't do it justice, but this is still a good one.

All the way to the top of this photo...that's where we were! Follow the chains :)

Fabulous trip! Wish we could have spent more time here :)
