Angels.

This weekend was the weekend of angels. The first angels were Cyndee and Todd who found an awesome campsite when it seemed like all hope was lost. This is our little camping group. It was smaller then planned but we had an AWESOME weekend.

Our next angel was hiking Angles Landing in Zion National Park. We chose the busiest weekend of the year to visit Zion. It was an international thoroughfare, but the weather was perfect and there was lots of hiking to get done. The hike took a little longer then normal because there were so many people but it provided an awesome view. Here is the point we hiked to (1600 ft drop off on both sides.) No one liked that I kept singing Free Falling but the song was in my head the entire time we were hiking to the top. The trail we followed is basically right up the middle of the cliff. The view from the top was amazing.

Meagan, my more than just basketball friend, chose to lay on the side of the cliff to get a better picture.

We also hiked up the Narrows for a while as well. That was awesome and I can't wait to hike it later this year. I am really going to do it this year.

We also decided to hit up Grand Canyon National Park since we were so close. That was nice because there were less people and it was a lot cooler. We went to the North Rim. The first hike we did was to Angels Point. It was a beautiful overlook of the canyon.

Then we also hiked out to Angels window. This is Angels Window from a distance.

It was a stormy day at the grand canyon we got hailed on, the hail was the size of dimes, luckily we were in the car eating lunch for that storm. On the point of Angels window there was an electrical current mounting because your hair would begin to stand straight up. We didn't stay out there for long.

That is a very brief overview of a very fun, short weekend, with lots of Angels. Oh yea and Cyndee gets another Angel point because she has a National Parks Pass so we didn't have to pay any entrance fees. That kept costs low!!
