Spring Break 2010

Jared was out of school for the week for Spring Break,
so we headed to Southern Utah. The weather forcast
didn't look good but we were very lucky and had great
weather for our schedule. Monday we drove from
Bedford to Zion National Park and stayed three
nights at the Cliff Rose Inn in Springdale.

Tuesday we hiked the West Rim trail to Angel's Landing.
Here's Jared on Walter's Wiggles.

On the trail to Angel's Landing Jared took a photo
looking down on each side of the trail
without moving his feet.




On the way up.

Jim sat on his favorite rock at Scout's Overlook
and waited while Jared and Amy climbed Angel's Landing
and then we continued north on the West Rim Trail
for a couple of miles until we finally gave up
because there was too much snow on the trail.

We went about a half mile past this point and then got
into too much snow in the canyon beyond us.
We had watched a rock climbing movie
at the IMAX theater, so Jared thought
he should give it a try !!!

Wednesday we hiked the East Rim Trail
to Observation Point. This is looking down
the canyon, and that is Angel's Landing
below us.

This is in Echo Canyon on the way up
the East Rim Trail.

Wednesday night it snowed and Jared got these
pictures before we headed to St. George. The sky was
clearing off and it was really beautiful.
We drove up a few miles past the tunnel.
We stayed two nights with Grandpa and Grandma.
