Zion National Canyon...we made it out alive!

The last repell on their six hour Mystery Canyon hike.
Preston repelling down the waterfall into The Narrows.
I think this was one of the smaller repells in Mystery Canyon...most of them were around 100 feet high. My husband is crazy, I don't get it, but he thinks it's fun!
The six of us (Annie, Preston, Me, Kyle, Ashley, & Stephen) at the end of the 2nd day (The Narrows). It was so beautiful!!!
You can't really see us, but me & Kyle chest deep in the water (in The Narrows/Wall Street). It was around 9 p.m. & it was COLD!
The Narrows again...finally some land! The water was tough because of all the rocks in it.

Kyle & Stephen in Pine Creek Canyon. The guys did this while the girls went shopping in St. George:)

Getting ready to go down the waterfall (I think).

Kyle & Preston getting some sun in Pine Creek (trying to dry off a little). The slot canyons were so amazing! I'm so glad Steve knows what he's doing so he could take us off the beaten paths!

Getting ready to hike up Angel's Landing.

Halfway up Angel's Landing...it makes you feel so small!
Here I am repelling down Keyhole...

Easing myself into the freezing cold, stinky water! Yuck!!!
Trying to hurry & swim as fast as I can!! When we were done with this slot canyon (3 hours), we stunk so bad!! Then we turned around & hiked Angel's Landing. I don't think the people around us appreciated it:)

FREEZING COLD...I couldn't feel my feet. I think the water was around 35-40 degrees. Burr!
Kyle repelling down Mystery Canyon...one of the 100+ foot cliffs.

Oops, this picture is out of order. Keyhole again.
Keyhole was an amazing slot canyon (cold, but worth it!).
We had such a fun three days in Zion. Happily we all made it out safe!
