It's Fall Break!!! It was also the end of the term leading up to fall break, which was a little stressful. It was so nice to have a plan to get away from Provo for a couple of days. I needed to get my mind off work. The term actually went great, the last day of the term did not go great. It is always one of the more stressful days of my job. One down three more to go this year.
Hannah and I left after work and headed towards Bryce Canyon. We had a campsite reserved at Ruby's Campground right by the entrance to Bryce Canyon National Park. We got in late and set up a tent and went to bed.
Thursday we started the day by hiking Angels Landing. This is one of the best hikes there is. It was a gorgeous fall day in Zions National Park. It was also supposed to be one of the most crowded weekends of the year. Luckily it wasn't too bad for us. The views were awesome like always.
Looking down on Walter's Wiggles
Taking some pictures at Scouts Landing (or as some people called when we were hiking it Chickens Landing, this is the turn around spot if you don't want to do the sketchy stuff)
The valley was so beautiful with all of the fall colors.
I just love the shot of the valley from Scouts Landing.
We continued to the top. The views are always so amazing.
It is so fun to hike it with people who have never done it before because it is so breathtaking.
It was a great start to fall break.
After we finished the hike we decided we had enough time to drive to horshoe bend and see it in the daylight. That ended up being a very good decision. It wasn't a terrible drive and the view was definitely worth it. It's in Page Arizona near Lake Powell.
I know these pictures are all basically the same but it was such a cool place.
It was also HUGE compared to the pictures I had seen.
It made for a lot of driving but it was worth it. I have wanted to see this place for a while now. It was very cool. After we got some pictures we headed to Pizza Hut for dinner. Why is pizza so good after hiking and playing all day?
We got back to camp pretty late but it was a great start to Fall Break.
