Zion National Park

Walter's Wiggles, Angles Landing
 Zion National Park, UT
My last National Park was Zion.  One of the more well known parks through out the world.  My first hike was Angel's Landing.  Its a 5.4 mile round trip hike but it is soooo steep. There are few pictures and videos I would have like to get but here is the next best thing...others who did.

Day 2 here was in the narrows.  I got a walking stick and am so glad that I did.  I left early in the morning before the rush and headed in for two hours.  I have no idea how far that was. GPS doesn't do so good in these canyons.  This hike for sure is up there on the favorites list.  If i ever come again i would do the two day over night, 16 mile hike.  I continue to be amazed at the power of water and how it can carve canyons like this.  So cool.
