Zion National Park

This morning, Tim and I decided that before we left St. George, we had to take a trip to Zion National Park. I hadn't been in years and I don't think Tim remembered ever hiking there so we decided that today was the day! It was thee absolute PERFECT day for a hike. I'm not big enough to take up the entire trail yet and the weather was gorgeous. On the way up, we listened to some mixed CDs of movie soundtracks my brother, Ryan burned for me - it really fit in with the grandeur of the place. Although the original plan was to do an easy trail for an hour or so, we ended up getting lost and did three trails including the dreaded and magnificent Angels Landing.  By the time we got back to the car four hours later, we were tired.  Luckily, we brought tons of gaterade, water, and snacks.  I doubt I burned a single calorie because every step I took, I had something in my mouth....that's the way to hike.  Overall, it was a total blast - we had the time of our lives!

  1. I'm so glad you had a good time. That place is beautiful! But I'm also glad I didn't know about your adventure until after the fact. I would have worried all day. It's beautiful, but it can also be dangerous! Tim was knee high to a grasshopper when he was last there I think. :)
