Zion

After another week of vacation (after the cruise) and a week to recover, I'm finally posting about our amazing trip to Zion National Park. I'm always amazed and humbled when I visit this incredible place. We hiked the Emerald Pools trail, Angel's Landing, and part of the Narrows. I love the high climbs! Especially the technical aspect of finding footholds and ways to balance while holding onto a chain bolted to the mountainside. Michael was so worried about me climbing, but how could I not go? Hiking is one of my all-time favorite actvities. Especially at a place so magnificent as Zion.

Here are some shots from our many hours of hiking during the week:
