Zion's National Park

Celeste and I have gotten plenty of hiking in this summer. My work has a three month challenge to walk/run 150 miles or more. Bike riding also counts at a 4-to-1 conversion, so we've logged quite a few miles on bike as well. One of our favorite spots so far was Zion National Park. We did a few hikes there including Emerald Pools, part of Zion Narrows, and Hidden Canyon. The park really is amazing to behold. The steep walls protruding out of the valley floor are absolutely amazing. The red rocks are picturesque. A person needs to visit the park to really see and understand the amazing beauty that it holds.

Overall, we had a lot of fun, but there were plenty more hikes we wish we would have had time to see, especially Angels Landing. Looks like another trip is in order. :)

Looks like so much fun! I miss Zions and definitely have not gotten my fill either. Maybe some day we can do a trip together!

Zion is awesome! I spent my boy scout years in St. George and we did a number of hikes there. My parents still live there and I keep going back--I love it. Also, I proposed to Clara atop Angel's Landing on May 14, 2006.

That's awesome that you proposed to Clara atop Angel's Landing. Next time we go, we definitely want to do that hike.
