Observation Point

Unfortunatly for me, no half marathon this weekend. With this foot injury and the way I push myself, I would be on crutches for some time--no doubt about it.

We still came down to Southern Utah. It is beautiful this time of year. Today we went into Zions. We hiked Observation Point. Every corner turned was another "Awe" moment. Such incredible views. That is Angels Landing over my shoulder, we could hear some moron playing a trumpet on it.

We forgot to bring a backpack on this trip. We scanned Target for the cheepest backpack we could find. This is what we bought.

A Dora backpack. "Backpack...backpack!" I heard a lot of snickers from people. I wish someone would have just said, "Awesome backpack." Because it is, and now I have a gift for Rachel.

The picture below is the view from the top of our hike. Look at the path of yellow trees linning the Virgin river. I am convinced that this is the best season to visit Zion.

I was proud of Steve for hiking a steep 8 miles. He was proud of me for not freaking out about the drop offs. Yeah, there were some steep drop offs, but honestly I had to concentrate harder when using the out house at the base of the trail. Pure concentration so as not to loose my breakfast-whoo whee, it stunk!
