Happy Easter!
I’m pretty sure that Gabby and I will be writing about the same thing. Friday night we decided to take a little daytrip to Zion National Park. We chose the Kolob Canyon entrance because it’s closer and had a hike we wanted to take last year. The hike is called Taylor Creek Middle Fork.
The hike is a nice hike. I’ll bet in summer it’s a great hike. Unfortunately, right now it’s still cool down there and with the very heavy snowfall this winter, about half of the trail was still snowy.
We were wearing shorts and tevas, so we were exposed to the snow. It was alright, though. I had a good time. The water wasn’t too cold. Especially after we walked in the snow for a while and our feet were freezing from the ice.
At the end is a little alcove. We stopped and took pictures and turned around. We met a lot of people on the way back and they kept asking us how much farther it was. Gabby, luckily, had our very useful book so she was able to tell them how far it was from each point.
Here’s a picture of Gabby with our useful book at Bryce last year. Every hike we go on, she brings it with. It points out useful sights, things
we would probably miss without the book. It gives us advice on where to eat and where to stay. It tells us how long each hike is, where they begin and end. What type of scenery and terrain you’ll encounter. It was a sound investment. Lonely Planet’s Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.
We also bought a National Park Pass so that we can spend the next year not paying to enter them anymore. We’ll surely be getting our use out of it.
6 days until first kick and tomorrow is the Real vs. Lobos PFT game!
