Riding Red Canyon
13 Jun 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
This morning, after a mess at my hotel last night where they couldn't check me in, so I had to go to another hotel. Then didn't get much sleep, I went horse riding through red canyon.

The trip was going to be somewhere between great and disastrous depending on allergy reactions. I dosed myself up good and luckily didn't have a problem.

The trip was very relaxing and quiet in some ways and also painful sitting in the weird way I had to sit in others. Tabasco preferred a little gap between us and the rest of the group, couldn't go to the toilet while moving, and also didn't like down hills, but otherwise he was a good horse.

Enjoyed the ride, three hours was about right, and the red canyon is pretty red!Baca lagi

Looking for snow
13 Jun 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
After the cool ride in the red canyon, I tried to visit Cedar Breaks National Monument, it's even further above sea level and the road has only recently opened.

As I got higher I passed a cool lake, some volcanic rocks and the old snow started appearing. Once I got to the park, the office was still closed and unfortunately they also haven't opened the paths up so couldn't go hiking. The views were good and I was able to make use of the snow at least.

Ended the day at my hotel back down the hill and finished the day in the swimming pool with 30C heat.Baca lagi

Zion
14 Jun 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Today I visited my last National Park of the trip and the most famous one, Zion National Park.

It reminded me of Yosemite, with the massive Cliffs either side of the valley. Very pretty views and I did a number of walks around the canyon, it was pretty busy here though.

There is a famous walk called the narrows where you basically walk through a river up a narrow canyon. It's the reason I went to Arizona first, but unfortunately the walk is still closed because of the long winter they have had. There is still too much water in the river. That sucks, but means I will have to come back another time I think. It would normally be open by this point in the year. 🙄

I have taken many pictures of lizards on the trip, I saw the biggest one yet after he started charging me on the path. Looked different to all the other ones and seems to be shedding!Baca lagi

Angels Landing
15 Jun 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Back to Zion National Park today, Narrows are still closed, but I did manage to win a permit to climb Angles Landing.

Its a tough hike zigzagging up the side of a cliff then a scary climb along a ridge that goes out to Angels Landing with a 1000ft drop either side.

It was a really fun walk and scramble, had amazing views and an awesome way to finish the national park tour I was on.Baca lagi

Manilow!
16 Jun 2023, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌙 26 °C
Last full day of the holiday, back in Las Vegas, car dropped off, staying at the New York New York hotel, and ending the holiday as I started, by going to a concert. This time Barry Manilow!

I wouldn't put myself as a fan before the concert, but he was awesome. He had an effortless strong voice. Ended up sat next to members of his fan club who had come to see him three days in a row... I'm not at that level yet. It is his birthday weekend though, 81 tomorrow!Baca lagi

Finished the holiday with a relaxing day at the pool party (mix of families, people trying to relax, and people getting drunk, all to a live DJ).

As I checked into the flight, they asked if I wanted a free night in Vegas, turns out they had an overbooked flight. I volunteered, had an extra day all planned out, but someone must not have shown up as there was room on the flight for me.

No pictures from the day so I've put a random selection of pictures that didn't fit elsewhere.

End of a really good holiday, definitely one of my favourites ever!Baca lagi
