Go Take a Hike!

Well, it's out of the wheelchair and leg brace and back to activity. We had our friends, Doug and Pat Vilbaum, come into town from Texas, so we just had to go camping and show them some of the state....so we went to Zion's National Park. We had heard a lot about Angel's Landing, so we hiked it one afternoon. Had we known what it was before we started, I don't know that we would have attempted it. It certainly isn't for anyone who is afraid of heights. At places it was 800-1200 feet straight down with only a 4 foot walkway and a few chains to keep you on the path. What an adventure and sense of accomplishment.




Here I am at the very end of Angel's Landing. The picture does not give the heighth justice!

Here is Pat and I hiking our way down. There is an 800 foot drop off to the right of the rocks behind us. Hold on girls!

Dave and me at the very end of Angel's Landing. Boy, it was hard to look down and not get dizzy!



The Vilbaum's and the Lambert's atop Angel's Landing. Where are the angels?



Here is just part of the hike. We had been hiking for 1.5 hours when we came to this ridge. Can you believe we hiked across this narrow area? It was crazy.



More chains and a big drop off on both sides.










Here is a picture of Crawford's Arch. It's kinda hidden in the scenery, but look close to see if you can find it.
