Zion and Canyoneering

The next day we got up super early(4:30am) to drive down to Zion, pronounced Zien by the locals, and troll for camp sites. We managed to get a really nice one as Sean was following the camp host around and picked out a good one that the host said was free. The girls drove down from Salt Lake and we spent a nice relaxing day doing easy hikes and riding the bus. Sean, Malia and I had a little photography shootoff trying to see who could get the best picture of a weird looking insect.

The next day Malia took Sean and me Canyoneering while Tricia, Heather, and Mom went to look at some pictoglyphs and a ghost town. Malia had a nice easy canyon with all the fun aspects, ie no freezing cold water, of canyoneering for us. We got to climb up and get some great views from the peak.

Then we got to repel down a 90ft and 50ft cliff.

After that we gotta scramble across a skinny little crack to get out.

All in all a lot of fun. I can see why Malia and Heather are obsessed... but I didn't have any cold water, I know that is a big not gonna happen for me issue.
