Zion National Park {5.27.16 - 6.5.16} Road Trip

Our next adventure on took us to Zion National Park. We spent two days {5.30.16 - 5.31.16} in the park and really tried to take advantage of the time we had. Some of our favorite hikes included Angel's Landing and hiking in the Virgin River up the Narrows canyon. The next day we went canyoneering through Keyhole canyon. We encountered 4 rappels and wadded through some pretty small crevices, but it was completely worth it! Zion National Park is huge and we didn't even get close to seeing half of it! It is definitely on our lists of places to visit again.

We hiked all the way to the top of Angel's landing, which is at the top left on the ridge line!

The beginning of our canyoneering adventure


First time rappelling myself. 

The dread slanted corridor! I am smiling, but I was actually nervous inside. We had to wade through water to get through. 
We made it to the end!

Leaving Hidden Canyon. This canyon is very high from the bottom of the valley where the Virgin River runs through.
