Last Post for August!!

It has taken a while and now that September is all but over I am finally finished with August! Here are some pics from a trip to Zion National Park in Utah. It is an amazing place to visit, it was pretty hot but thankfully we were near a river. My buddy Josh and I drove through the night and arrived in Zion early to get a early start on the Narrow's Hike. This hike goes up through the North Fork Virgin River through canyons it has spent thousands of years making. It was pretty amazing! Unfortunately, there was a flash flood warning for later in the afternoon so we didn't lollygag in the canyon.

amazing sunset before embarking!
Jessica, Hannah, Josh, and me. Josh and I departed shortly after the sun set.
Sunrise on beautiful sandstone walls!
Into the canyons...

Redwoods

On August 7: Evan, Keri, and I made a banzai run to the Redwood National Park to experience some awe-inspiring magic. We found it... among thousand year old trees that extend out of view. We ventured down into the Tall Trees Grove along the Redwood Creek. Among beauty, past and present. Here is a short montage from the entire trip...
