Angels Landing!

I have never been much of a hiker, so I am not sure why I felt so inclined to hike Angels Landing but I am SO glad that Elaine and I did! It was a challenging hike- it has inspired me to get in better shape! There were a few times where we did not know exactly where to go which was a little scary, but we did it! The view from the top was definately worth all of the hard work!

Elaine and I at the top!
Don't look down!

Zion Ponderosa Day #3

We are so lucky to live so close to the Zion Ponderosa Resort! We were able to do three different activities, and we chose horseback riding, wall climb/ zip-line, and 4-wheeling! Elaine and I are such city girls, it was fun to be "outdoorsy"!

Me almost at the top of the climbing wall! (I made the mistake of looking down- BIG mistake!)
Waving right before I took off down the zip-line!
It was a busy but fun day, we tried to go to sleep at a decent hour because the next morning we hiked.... ANGELS LANDING!

Bryce Day #2

Can you believe that the Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon are only 3 1/2 hours apart but look so different from one another?! The reds, browns, greens, and orange colors are so beautiful! It was a warmer day but it cooled off quickly after a mid-afternoon storm! This is just so different from anything we have on the East Coast!

Bryce Canyon!
What a gorgeous view!

Rockville, Grand Canyon- Day 1

Rockville, Utah! How funny is that?! If you look closely you will see us givng the "05" for the year we graduated from RHS!

My dad, myself, and Emily at the Grand Canyon! We could not have asked for better weather, and the Grand Canyon was just as amazing as ever!

The Grand Canyon North Rim!

I am so glad that we were able to see the Grand Canyon, it is truly an amazing place! My mom always reminds us that people come from all around the world to see this. I guess this is a reminder not to take all of my surroundings for granted!
