The first part of our vacation went as planned :) We spent some time exploring Zion National Park, and it was beautiful. My parents came with us, so not only did we get to do some hiking with them and A, we also got to hike the Narrows - not something we could have done with the little guy in tow!
He LOVED, loved, loved the shuttle. Probably better than the hiking...
The views were stunning....
The amazing hike we went on? The Narrows. Miles of hiking in water, through a stunning canyon. It was cold (the water and the air!). Very cold, but we rented gear so that it wasn't that bad. I soon forgot about the cold because the scenery was so beautiful - and the light in the morning was perfect.
My parents went on two hikes with us - I think we may have hiked them a bit too much! But the views were amazing and it was adorable watching A hike with his grandparents :)
We stayed at a very unique and affordable Bed & Breakfast called "The Bunkhouse." It had beautiful scenery, friendly and kind hosts, yummy breakfasts and it was perfectly located. It was a great set up for the five of us!
The next part of our vacation was supposed to be Cedar Breaks National Monument, Arches national Park and Canyonlands National Park. Needless to say, due to the government shutdown, that didn't happen. I am so sad that we didn't make it to those parks, I'd been looking forward to it for quite some time. We are, however, pretty resourceful, so we came up with a new itinerary and ended up having a great time!
More on that soon :)
I've been wanting to hike the narrows for a while! Glad you got a chance to do it. Zions is a beautiful place.
