Me on top of Angel's Landing.
Over Spring Break, Denise and I went to Utah to visit some family and do some great hikes in Zion National Park.
Saturday we flew into Salt Lake and spent Saturday and Sunday (Mar. 31st/Apr. 1)visiting the "Sisters" at Raegan and Rick's new old vintage home. (105 years old)
Monday, April 2nd, we arrived at Zion....sunny, cool, wind, nice room.....went to dinner at Oscar's, our favorite in Springdale. Great food but you feel comfortable in your sandals and shorts.
Tuesday hiked to Observation Pt. on East Rim...8 miles, elev. change 2148 ft. Dinner at Bit and Spurs Grill. Good too! Wonderful outdoor deck with heaters.
Wednesday hiked to Angel's Landing and West Rim, 5.4 miles to Angel's Landing. I left Denise at Scout's Landing 4 mi., while I went up the additional 1.4. When I got down we hiked the West Rim for approx. 3 more miles. We will do the entire West Rim hike next time we go. It's great.
Thurs. drove to Kanab to see the Coral Pink Sand Dunes...then came back to Zion and hiked the Watchman Trail, 2.7 miles, 368 ft. elevation change.
Friday hikes....Pa'rus Trail 3.5 miles, elev. change 50', Emerald Pools, 4 miles, elev. change 200 ft. Last but not least Riverside Walk, 2.2 miles, elev. change 57'.
Left Saturday for Vegas...had wanted to hike the Kolob Canyons hike via La Verkin Creek to the Arch. Will do this one too next visit as well as Weeping Rock.
Had a great night in Vegas and stayed at the Las Vegas Hilton. Flew back Sunday.
Isn't Spring Break suppose to be a break?! Whew! Love the photos and I'll bet up close and personal was even better. Thanks for the push to get off my ---- and hike more. Hugs Cindy
