Zion on Saturday night. Managed to squeeze three of us in the back of the truck at the hippie campground... good for warmth since it was pretty frigid that night.Hiked into Hidden Canyon on Sunday. Really cool. Started off with a warmup along the Virgin river. It's still fall in Zion... was quite beautiful.
The "trail" for hidden canyon ends after a mile and a half right near the entrance, but we continued upward for a few hours. Got to a "delightful little arch" (as described in the Zion Canyoneering book.) Jess climbed to the top and rappelled down, so we all took turns doing so. Somewhat blurry picture of Jesse and Suz setting up the rope on right.
Saw two condors just before returning to the mouth of the canyon. They weren't too close but it was still awesome to see them flying... Following each other around and flying in tandem. Very cool.
Goofing off at the end of our hike. Ruining pictures never gets old for me and Suzie.
This looks like fun. Except for the cold part.
