Zion National Park

This last weekend I had the opportunity to go down to Zions

it was a lot of fun it was in the 80's so nice. Niki and I went down

to St. Geo. for a day did some shopping, and I got to spend the day

with her Hear all about what she has been up to with school, work,

and friends.Scott was at work all this time so he asked us to wait til Sat. to go

hiking. so we got up and went for our adventure for the day. We hiked up to

Angel's Landing it was about 1200 feet up. not very many people, Lots of switch backs, cliffs to hand on for dear life (we were hanging on this chain.)

on top was way cool to look where we have been. The

thing that bugged me the most was coming back down by this time (Lot's

of people.) The European people were so rude, don't follow the rules of the trail. Me and Niki

are hanging onto this chain if we let go we drop 1200 feet. Those men and I think women

come right up by us, I closed my eyes so I think they passed us fine. But all and all I'am so glad I can say this:I hiked,climbed,crawled, nearly passed out and barely made it to the top of Angel's Landing. (Zions National Park)

(This has been a personal goal for me to go hiking you see I have Rheumatoid Arthritis for the last 20 Years and it has been the last 2 years that I found a doctor who cares about me and to help me. He has put me on new medicine that has given me my life back.) When I get my pictures from niki I'll put them on my blog. Funny thing my camera did't have it's memory card in it so,Niki took all the pictures and she live's down in Logan.

Oh No Way! Really? Angel's Landing?? That is one scary hike. I have heard some pretty scary things about that trail. You are definitely a bold woman to do that. Good for you, and I'm glad you made it back safely.
