Back to Zion

We got an opportunity to go back to hike at Zion's National Park. Last year was so fun we jumped at the opportunity to go back. Click here to read about last year.
This year was of course different. For starters Ash and I went on different hikes.
I went down the Narrows again with M.jay, Nate, Josh, and some of Nate's family and friends. This hike is 17 miles long and gets rougher and better as you go down it. Because of how challenging it was last year I couldn't resist. This time we were much smarter and kept with it the whole way. Last time we finished around 10:30 at night! And this time we got done at 5:30 instead. Here's a couple pics of the group.


















Ash went with Emily up Angel's Landing.
I am so proud of them. To be honest I had my doubts about them even doing a hike when we left them alone. But they took on one that was challenging and probably a little scary. They were telling me about this guy in front of them that was so scared of the heights he practically crawled the last part of it.
Here they are at the top. They said they had a blast, and that everyone cheered for that poor guy when he finally made it to up.
One of the other fun things about this time was that we went camping afterward. I love camping and sitting around the fire. It made us stay up so late that we didn't get much sleep. Especially after it started raining and we got woken up by Josh,who was sleeping outside, begging to get in our tent. Well the tent was actually his and he had let us borrow it. But it was kind of funny because there were two people in a 8 man tent, two in a 5 man tent and then Ash, Josh and I crammed in a two person tent.Thanks Nate for setting it up for us and letting us go. It was well worth it!
Check out Ash, she was so tired she just crashed in her chair
