Vacation - Zions National Park

The last stop on our vacation was Zions National Park, where we stayed 5 nights. I have never hiked so much in my entire life! The weather was beautiful and if you even know my husband a tiny bit you know he won't let you sit still if there is a trail to follow.

We also hiked Angel's Landing. Alex backpacked Devin up it.

If you have never hiked Angel's Landing it HAS to go on your "bucket list"... it's an amazing hike... just STRAIGHT up. It was probably the toughest hike I have ever been on. Google it and look at the pictures, but they can't do it justice. It is definitely something you have to do, if you have never done it.

We also hiked several other trails.

Lastly we tried to hike up the Narrows. We crossed the river one time, but the water was soooo cold that it was actually painful. So we had to quit. I did it as a teenager, but Alex has never done it. We plan on going back in the next couple of years to do it, and stay overnight in the Narrows. It is THE BEST hike even possible and another one that HAS to be done.

And this was Devin's highlight if the trip:
