Zion National Park in Utah

Zion National Park in Utah!!!At the entrance into the water portion of the hike on the Narrows trail. They warn people not to go hiking in the water when there is a chance of a flash flood and as soon as we got to the end of the trail and into the water it started to pour. People were running out of there as fast as they could. It sure was an adventure.
Keri in the water at the Narrows. 2 mile hike roundtrip and we did in the pouring rain.
On the trail to the Narrows before it started to rain.

Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah


We all hiked down into Bryce Canyon on a trail called Navajo Loop. It was about 1.3 miles long and about 1000 vertical feet. Even Keri at 5 1/2 months pregnant did it. It was beautiful scenery everywhere you looked.
