9/13 Zion

We hiked the Virgin River slot canyon. The locals all recommended renting funny looking water hiking boots and hiking sticks. We did and were very glad. We hiked and almost swam at times, about 2 ½ miles up river. The canyon narrowed to about 40’ across and at least 1000 feet up. We cooked a quick dinner and hiked out at dusk. We may have been the last ones out. Incredible natural beauty.

Thanks to Rich and Nicole for the Park guidebooks. These have both been very well used and added to the fun of the trip.
