if you could hie

seeing as tyler and i are so incredibly righteous (insert laugh here), we've been to both kolob and the city of enoch. that's the beauty of living in utah. unfortunately, i don't have any pictures of us in the city of enoch, but i'll remedy that next time we drive past it. i do, however, have pictures of kolob (canyon).

tyler and i stopped by kolob canyon on our way back from st. george (see previous post). we'd been meaning to go there for a while, and finally we did. it was absolutely worth it! kolob canyon (part of zion national park) is beeeeeeeeeautiful. see for yourself.



this last picture is supposed to be capturing some part of the grand canyon (like the western rim or something of that nature). i think it's crazy you can see far enough to see the grand canyon from that spot!

the drive to kolob canyon is only 5 miles, so i highly recommend it to anyone traveling on i15 in southern utah. (keep in mind that because it is part of zion national park, you have to pay to go in. but that's okay! make the extra drive to see the main part of zion. it's worth it.)

a saint called george

my family congregated, from all four corners of the mid-west, in st. george a few weekends ago. tyler and i had a blast showing my family around the greater st. george area.

we took them to SNOW CANYON...

cinder cones - one in the foreground, one on the right, and one in the distance on the left.
kevin and kayla at the petrified sand dunes.
hi mom!
then ZION NATIONAL PARK...
the top of angel's landing (i wouldn't get on that rock last time we were there, but i did it this time!!)

the landing before the chain starts. (scott's something or other, i think.) this picture was supposed to be of tyler, but kevin and kayla ended up in it, too. cuuuute.

on the way up (i don't have anyone else because we all used our own cameras).
walter's wiggles on the way down (take one). todd, karen, kevin, kayla, tyler.

much better shot (take two). todd, karen, kevin, kayla, christine.
weeping rock (view towards the canyon). you can see the rock's tears falling from above. (click to enlarge)

tyler tried drinking the water and THEN we saw the sign that it may contain giardia. awesome. no signs of it, though, so we're in the clear. :)

tyler took the more adventurous mountain biking to bear claw poppy seed (unfortunately no pictures) and, of course, we went shopping . the weather was perfect - 80s and overcast the entire time (no pouring rain like northern utah!). i think a great time was had by all and maybe we'll get karen all the way to the top of angel's landing next time.
