The figure 8 loop in Bryce Canyon National Park was an amazing hike. Would highly recommend. Really gives you amazing views and allows you to be down within the hoodoos ❤️

So much of the subway hike was beautiful. Multiple waterfalls, the river, Mountain View’s. Just a gorgeous hike all around. Would highly recommend. Remember you need a permit!

The Subway, Zion National Park. This was a tough hike. Hiking in a river over slippery and large boulders really takes it out of you! The whole hike was simply gorgeous though!

We did about 7 miles of the narrows today in Zion. It was hot out, but you didn’t notice that much being in the water, so I’m glad we did it on a warmer day. Water hikes are not our favorite, but it still had a lot of beauty. So many people! Also, so many people not being considerate, dropping trash, so loud, etc I might need a quiet trail soon, 1 am feeling peopled out. Our favorite part was an offshoot near wall street that was completely empty. Gorgeous canyon walls. Lots of slippery parts, not really cardiovascular difficult, but you are working through water resistance and tons of picking through rocks. I didn’t fall and that always is a win in my book!
We did not rent any equipment. I used water shoes and my two hiking poles.
They did just fine. The water was max just above my waist and my legs are short. No neoprene needed, the water was cool, but not freezing. Let me know if you have questions about it!

Feeling pretty accomplished this morning!We started from Zion Lodge and hiked Angels Landing today. We started at 4:45am...

Feeling pretty accomplished this morning!
We started from Zion Lodge and hiked Angels Landing today. We started at 4:45am, made it to the top in about 2 hours and just saw the sun come up. I'm never the first to get anywhere and we were the first two to the top today! No traffic on the way back down and that was exactly how I wanted it. The idea of the crowds scared me more than the hike itself. I can trust me, but I can't trust a panicked stranger. Staying overnight at the lodge was a great choice as well.
Happy to provide any tips if anyone has any questions. Walter's Wiggles was not bad at all as a FYI. They are so short you are done that section quick! 🌞🥾❤️

The devils bridge hike was better than I expected it to be. I am always wary of hyped up hikes. We started at the Mescal trailhead at around 1:30pm today and there was plenty of parking! We choose Mescal so we didn't have to walk the road up. The trail was mostly uphill on the way in and steep in the last.4 or so. Some steep stairs as well. The views along the trail were excellent and devils bridge was very dead. Only a few people there and no wait for a picture. Everyone was kind and took the next groups shots. So l would recommend later in the day for no wait and plenty of parking. I was surprised from what I had seen, especially since it was a Friday. Also, if you are scared of heights the bridge is much wider than it appears. It was about 4.1 miles and 625 ft of gain. Wheezeability 1/2 until right before the bridge where it got to a 4 out of 5. 4 out of 5 overall for the trail, it was worth it!

Sedona keeps bringing all the gorgeous views 😍 We did this hike
counterclockwise and the first mile was a bit dull, but after that all the views were amazing. Mescal Mountain: Long Canyon, Deadman's Pass, Mescal Loop was a low moderate hike at 4.4 miles and 380ft of gain. Wheezeability was not bad at 2 out of 5 since it was pretty gradual on the gain. I'd rate this trail 5 stars for the epic views and varied terrain.
