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. :)
