I went to Zion National Park the day after Ironman St George where I setup camp just outside the park boundaries and spent the next 2.5 days hiking various parts of the park. It was an amazing experience. I started off in the north at Kolob Canyons which was so remote that I practically had the whole trail to myself. Then I drove over to the Kolob Reservoir but had to turn back after reaching 7000 feet because there was too much snow. Subsequent days were spent hiking the Canyon Outlook trail and the infamous Angels Landing trail, neither of which are candidates for anyone suffering from vertigo.
My only regret was that I was not able to hike in Slot Canyon which was impassable due to the water levels being 4x above the safe level. Oh well, hopefully there will be a next time.

Amazing. You can truly see nature’s evolution….And you know me, I’ll all about that!
