This is a part of a hike called 'Angels Landing' - look carefully at it - that path is only 28 inches wide and the drop to the right is - well - it's a long way. Our Brother-in-law Bob, who is a keen hiker would be caking his dukes if he was doing this one!
La la "I'm gonna be Iron like a Lion in Zion" (C Bob Marley)..
Here are some pictures from Zion National Park in the state of Utah. The white, pink and red rocks of the park are huge, overpowering and magnificent! We got here on Wednesday 18th July after a long drive from the Grand Tetons in Wyoming - through Idaho and here in Utah. This is our last day in Zion - next stop Bryce Canyon.
A quick explanation of the pictures - the first is the river that runs right behind our tent - this is the best site we've been to yet - spacious, shady and a lovely sandy beached river for when the temperatures hit the 100's.

This pic on the left was from a hike called 'Hidden Canyon' - we finished the hike then decided to investigate further, so we kept walking down the canyon, clambering over rocks, scrambling up dirt walkways and everytime we were stopped, we just climbed over or worked a way around - anyway we ended up in some great places about two miles further than the hike was meant to be. There's something great about 'trail blazing'!!
More adventures in the canyon!
This is me triumphant after reaching the top of Angels Landing, Elvis decided to leave the last half mile to the 'daft lad'!
This is our little afternoon relaxation spot. Just behind the tent and an absolute godsend with temperatures of around 105 degrees, it's even scorching at 7pm! Not that we are complaining mind you when we hear about the rain back home!
There's a free cup of tea for anyone who can tell me what the label of my beer says! However, the free gift will be null and void should anyone make any correlation between the beer and me! (Nana and Auntie advisory warning - the label may contain words of an adult nature!)
