Utah Trip Day 8

We woke up early Sunday morning to start the hike up Mount Sneffels.  It was pretty cold when we started, but it didn't take long to warm up!

 Its hard to see in this picture but on the far right next to the lake someone set up a tent and camped.  What an awesome campsite!

 We had to do a lot of rock scrambling

 Almost to the top

 View from the top, it was pretty hazy that day from all the wildfires in the surrounding states.

We made it! 14,150 feet!

Utah Trip Day 7

Finally got around to posting the pictures from the last couple days of our trip.  I tried a week ago but our internet has been super slow and wouldn't even upload one picture!

On Saturday we drove to Ouray and relaxed all day, the only day of the trip that we were able to.  We decided we should get a little rest before tackling Mount Sneffels on Sunday.  I didn't take many pictures this day since we didn't really do too much!

Our Campsite

 Our campsite was right next to this river

Utah Trip Day 6

 Woke up early to watch the sunrise.  I haven't been able to watch the sunrise over a lake in a long time.

 Our "campsite"

 We rented kayaks on Lake Powell

 I didn't get too many pictures this day...I didn't want my camera to fall in the lake!

On the way out of town we stopped at Horseshoe Bend.  We decided to stop here instead of going all the way down to the Grand Canyon.

Utah Trip Day 5

On Thursday we hiked Angel's Landing.

The mountain in the middle is the one we hiked.

Walter's Wiggles...a bunch of switchbacks up the mountain.  That is Kari in blue and Eric in red, towards the top.

Chains to hold on to

That is the narrow "fin" that we had to hike up, this is where all the chains are.

View from the top

Kari's new friend...he was just as scared of heights as Kari, and very talkative

Heading back down

It was a steep drop off on both sides.

Michael hanging out on the edge as usual.

Had to take another group picture before we left Zion.

Glenn Canyon Dam

Thursday night we camping on the beach on Lake Powell.

Utah Trip Day 4

On Wednesday we hiked the Zion Narrows.  

Checking out the scenery

Big Springs, about 5 miles up the river.  We stopped for lunch, then started our hike back.

Taking a break after taking the bus back to the visitors center.
