Angel's Landing

Wednesday morning Dallin woke up really early with his brother Justin and they drove down to Zion National Park.  Dallin had been really looking forward to hiking Angel's Landing, and it did not disappoint.  They basically climbed up to the top of this...

 

 

 

 

 

Angel's Landing is known for being a very dangerous hike because it is so narrow.  You have to hold on to chains all the way up the back of the ridge.

 Dallin said this was the worst part.  You can't quite tell, but he said it drops straight down on both sides right here.  The only thing to hold onto are the chains on either side of you.

 Luckily they made it back alive.  On Thursday a few of the families went to Bryce Canyon, but we passed on that since we were just there last summer.  We took the kids on a little hike near the cabin.  If you look close you can see the ski lifts just about the telephone poles.  Dallin took some of the kids a little farther and they saw a porcupine right on the path in front of them.  As Zach, Landon and I were headed back up the hill we heard thousands of sheep.  We looked up to the highway and saw that they were herding them along it and cars were backed up for about half an hour.
