Zion 2008

During our summer of '08 in St George we took a trip to Zion National Park in Southern Utah.... it's a beautiful place which pictures could never do justice. Most of these pics were taken from a scary hike called "Angel's Landing"
Please enjoy!



This was some intense hiking

One of many Natives we saw on our trek.


Kurtly and Jeniby forever and ever and ever....


Some desert flowers


Ok, so this trail is insane - Kurt is hanging over a thousand foot high ledge....oh, and he is smiling.... he is nuts.


Great day - beautiful place.


Joseph Bates standing near the top and Kurt is the blue spec at the bottom. This narrow passage didn't strike me as scary until I came back down - the fall is a couple thousand feet on either side..... *gulp!*  I was grateful for the chain to hold on to.


A cute little beggar who graced us with his presence when we stopped for a snack.

No, I didn't really give him any food - I did bait him though.


Pretty cactus flower that did kewl things when I turned the black and white filter on


A very odd little beetle whose defense was to stick his butt in the air and... well I'm just not sure. But he was interesting so I took a picture.
