We had a Saturday to kill, so randomly chose a place to go to. Our decision came down to two areas, Monument Valley and another. The latter was quicker to get to and easier to enjoy in a day.
An hour drive later...
A Saturday trip to Zion National Park
Virgin River
After getting information from and high-fiving a random hotel employee, we were able to take a shuttle into the park and begin hiking.
The first was one of the mac-daddy's in the park.
Angel's Landing(left) with canyon
Chipmunk runs for his life from a small japanese girl
Half-mile from Angel's Landing Peak
[The drawback to Angel's Landing is the high traffic and low amount of hiking room.]
A friend and I waiting for some hiker's to pass
Ridge connect to Angel's Landing
[We got to the peak after some chain links and lines and ate lunch looking at one of the most awesome views I've seen in a while.]
Blurry view on top of Angel's Landing
We severely overestimated the time it would take to climb up and down the mountain so we decided to follow the riverside trail.
A squirrel that was a bit too friendly
A tarantula on a moist wall
[We got to the end of the trail and was forced to try the narrows even though I didn't come prepared. I learned that flip-flops are absolutely fucking useless on slippery rocks. Luckily some random passerby's gave my friend and I some walking sticks.]
The start of the hike into the Narrows
Very small waterfall
The depth just started getting ridiculous
Just a few of the pics I had from our trip, the ticket to get inside the park is good for 7 days so we might make another trip (I might be a bit more prepared). Apart from the freezing cold waters, and the slippery flip-flops, the trip was pretty fun.
Have a good one teamliquid
+ Show Spoiler +My late tribute on Angel's Landing
EDIT: Zion National Park is located in Southern Utah of the United States of America.
