the promised land.

zion national park.it was the best of our trip: tubing, hiking, mind blowing vistas, delicious meals...


todd grew a beard for the occasion.
we hiked two astonishing things while in zion: the narrows and angels landing. perhaps you know of them?
the narrows is a 13 mile upstream hike through an insanely narrow canyon. there is no trail, you hike through the water, usually it's about knee deep.


it is preposterous!

angels landing is also preposterous. the mormons who first came through zion thought it was so high and trecherous that only angels could get to the top. it is a real test of one's ability to not be freaked out by 1000 foot drops on either side of you.
todd wasn't scared. i was though.



the end was in sight, todd could see it.
we gave our inner tubes to some french kids, who were psyched.
