zion national park

aaron & i went on our 3rd annual utah national park outing. my first time to zion national park. it was amazing! our cameras are stupid, not as stupid as me...we hiked angels landing & got two pictures before our battery died & i didn't bring our backup camera. we waited til we got to an overlook of angels landing & then got a few more pictures out of the camera. i really wished i would have had it to take pictures of the top of angels landing. i copied some pics from someone else just to give an idea of what we hiked. it was only 5 miles round trip but it was intense. our other pictures of hiking the narrows weren't very good either because we were hiking the river & it was dark & shady. next time we are hoping to have better more reliable equipment. an excuse to go back.

aaron's favorite quote from a mormon pioneer credited for naming Zion Canyon: "These are the Temples of God, built without the use of human hands. A man can worship God among these great cathedrals as well as in any man-made church - this is Zion."

Hey Aaron, We missed you guys by a week! We went and did Angels Landing...with the kids. Talk about nerve racking. They flew up the switchbacks but I was constantly saying "two hands on the chain" Jealous you did the Narrows, it's been years since I've done that one.
