This morning a crew of 6 left the house at 6:10 for Zion National Park. Destination - Angels Landing. It was strenuous, long, and exhausting. And it will go down as one of the best hikes I have ever taken.
It's such a great feeling to tackle something that is going to be really hard, that you hope to complete but aren't sure you still have it in you. The sense of accomplishment is pretty sweet when you succeed. Great suggestion Dana. It was everything you said and then some!
Thanks Gary, Morgan, Ryan, James, and Cori for being such excellent hiking companions.
See that hand on your right knee? Give that knee an extra "thank you pat," because it is still letting you challenge yourself and the landscape!!! Great hike, indeed.

There is only one word for Utah: breathtaking! You have to see it to believe it. This is why I live in the intermountain west. Can't live without my mountains and the open spaces.
Bryce Canyon is my favorite park.

Yay Carol!!! I'm thrilled you and the fam were able to go... and on such a gorgeous day too! You'all are honorary mountain goats now!
