Tired But Happy :D

The camping trip was a blast!! The weather was really nice...it was probably close to 70 degrees while we were there so it was excellent weather for hiking! We went to Zion's National Park and the first day we hiked the Emerald Pools, which was a pretty easy hike and the water from the waterfalls felt really nice. Lots of us climbed up a huge rock at the high pool and got pretty wet and cold from sitting up there. We also went and hiked the Temple of Sinawava. It was a really nice easy, level path and we had lots of fun climbing rocks along the way :D I'm pretty sure Chris was having withdrawals having to walk away from the chance to climb so many rocks. We also tried to find the mysterious pencil point sized snails that are only found in Zion's, but alas to no avail....we are not so sure if the park employees were telling the truth or not....The next day, Saturday, we hiked Angel's Landing and that was tons of fun! It was such a beautiful view from the top. We stopped and ate some lunch on the top and then headed back down...it was a good sense of achievement for us all especially those who conquered their fear of heights...the trail is really steep in some parts and it involves a lot of vertical climbing, which made it really for me! That night we were all pretty tired. Tiffany's dad was nice enough to be the chef on the trip and we had some delicious food :D At night it got really cold even though it was hot during the day...we didn't get much sleep, but it was worth it.
