Zion National Park


As part of Paul's birthday present, I bought him a backpacking tent and planned a suprise trip to Zion National Park. We got there Friday night, set up camp, made tin foil dinners, and then s'mores. We got up early Saturday morning and made breakfast burritos and then started on a full day of hiking. Our first hike was Angel's Landing. The last .5 mile of the hike is extremely narrow- part of it is only 3 feet wide with steep cliffs of 800 feet on your left and 1200 feet on your right! And the worst part? No railing whatsoever. Instead they offer a mere chain to hold onto for dear life. At the beginning of this treacherous terrain, a sign warns that only really hot, studly husbands should attempt the last part of this hike. And so, I let Paul do it by himself, and I waited for him on safe ground.
And, I have to give a special shout-out to the Seavers and the Glausers for helping me with all the preparations. Thanks, guys!
This is the last part of the hike that Paul traversed- scary!

Here's a view from the top.
