Okay, we're here so let's jump on a park tram and get into the
park.
Danger - Cliff First stop, the cliffs at the Emerald Pools. Slippery sandstone,
huh? Well not too slippery to hold a hat :-)
The
top of Lower Emerald Pool
The East and Observation Point Trail. Not too hard of a trail. Is that all this park's got?
- Angels Landing -
Okay, here's the trail - up the spine of the ridge. No
problem right? Looks like a good 5 or
6 foot clearance on each side :-).
Chains
These chains are here for a reason.
Climb! Up we go now.
More chains, watch your step!
After a 1/2 mile of rock scramble we make it to the top.
Nice views :-)
But don't get too close to the edge!
Aw, the darn hat fell for the photo.
Go fix it Jim, would ya?
Watch your step there Jim.
While Jim wrestles the lion at the cliff's edge, we'll look for that Starbucks.
Now that's better.
Alright, enough of this mountain hiking stuff. Let's head to the watery
canyons of the Narrows.
Well, now that
we are in here how do we get out? And don't you just
hate wading through frigid water that is jussssst above your belt? What's the point of that?
One of the worst things to hear while
hiking the Narrows is the roll of a distant thunder storm (there is
no way out if the mighty Virgin River decides to flood :-)).
Here kitty, kitty. Guess we just missed the Mountain
Lion Scene. Darn.
