We arrived at the Vegas Airport around 6pm. We got our bags and rental car and started our 3 hour drive to Springdale, UT. Driving out of Vegas at night was very cool since we got to see the city light up in the valley.Read more

Our fist full day in Springdale we decided to take the shuttle into the park to hike the Emerald Pools Trail to Grotto Trail. Every view out the window was spectacular to us since we don't have mountains in Minnesota. The views were great and the hiking was even better. Going through the Lower Pools Trail was interesting since the water was dripping on our heads! The trails weren't too crowded but every once and a while we had to stand to the side and let people pass. The only downfall was that we didn't have much space in the backpacks once we shed our cold gear when it warmed up mid-morning.Read more

Friday we drove the Mt. Caramel Hwy to hike the Canyon Overlook trail. This hike was not very strenuous but tested my mild fear of hights. Once we were at the overlook it was worth it for the views!

Friday night was the Wedding Reception! We had so much fun with family and friends. The food and drinks were great and the decorations and photo booth van were a hit!

The Narrows
October 23, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F
Saturday morning we geared up at Zion Outfitters with dry pants, neoprene socks, boots, and wooden walking sticks for the Zion Narrows hike. We arrived at the Temple of Sinawava around 11 am and started the mile walk on the Riverside Trail to the start of the Narrows.

After finally making it to the river we stepped in and felt our boots flood with water. The neoprene socks kept our feet warm but the experience felt like putting your foot in one of those Water Wiggle/ Slippery Tube toys made popular in the 90s.

After giggling about the feeling we were on our way, criss crossing the river from bank to bank. It was quite difficult at times due to the size of rocks and the current in the shallow portions of the river. Going upstream was a challenge.

We made it about a quarter of the way in before we stopped for lunch and then Dan and Jill turned around since Jill's ankle was hurting.

Ryan and I kept going. We were determined to go as far as possible until we had to turn around to meet Dan and Jill for dinner.

We had finally made it to Orderville Canyon for the start of Wall Street. We continued for another half hour or and turned around. We didn't know how long it would take us to get back to the shuttle stop. It turned out that it only took us about half the time to hike down the Narrows as it had going up river.Read more
