St George Continued - Zion



While in UT we decided to go check out Zion National Park/Zion's Canyon. It was very beautiful. After driving around for the car tour, we decided to hop on the shuttle up to the trails and do a little hiking. I'm so glad we did it was gorgeous! Here are the pics.


No, Stacy didn't convince Derek to carry her for the hike. There were caterpillars EVERYWHERE. You couldn't walk without stepping on the and it was freaking her out like crazy so she made Derek carry her. It was pretty creepy. Here is the corner of a bench covered in the caterpillars. Yuck! It's a little hard to tell, but there is a guy scaling this huge rock. The extra cray part is that pic is zoomed in really far & he was really about half way up this big rock. Can you say CRA-ZY! Of course there was a little time for bro-mance even while hiking. Love my crazy brothers.




We hiked Emerald Pools. It was gorgeous! There was plenty of water around to keep us on our toes/cool. Here are some trying to not get soaked.


Check: first leg of the hike
Here are some of the hikers taking a needed rest.
Here are those waterfalls we ran under from the top.
Here's Stacy pointing out that Trever got his wandering from his dad.We made it to the top of Emerald Pools. It was SO worth it.


Here's the group of us that made it to the top. Emily is 4 months out of knee reconstruction so she & Eric stayed at the 2nd stage of the pools. Scott & Jenna had baby Everett so even though Scott made it up they had to head back to take care of him. It was a very gorgeous day in an amazing place.
