Zion National Park  
Realised I neglected to post pictures of my roadtrip with Jenn to Zion Park in Utah. :)

Better late than never!






From an Arby's Parking lot. Which was, on a sunday in Utah, the only restaurant we could find open.




Our super awesome convertible Mustang!


Risking our lives to get the shot! No, seriously, I actually slowed down to a crawl to take this. :)






The sky the sky the sky. It tears at my heart to see it in photos. Its so blue, its so big, its so beautifully contrast by the red rocks reaching up into it.


Sheer rock walls.


The river running through the canyon we hiked into.


A study in scale.




Flowers! :)


Water seeping out of the rocks.


Looking up at the hanging gardens.






Little bastard. He stared at us until I took his picture. Probably he wanted food. Not likely, mister.


Ravens in the desert are huge.




From here, people with the proper hiking equipment, knowledge and fortitude hike further into the 'narrows'. There is no path. You hike in the river. Have fun with that.


I liked the porous rock.






Storm's comin.




Deer aren't bothered by the people, apparently.













It was a spectacular day with my best friend. We drove with the top down, we jammed loud music, we talked and caught up since we hadn't seen each other in far too long, we hiked, we got sunburned and then we went back to Vegas and saw Cirque's O. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, and I'll remember it always.

wow!! wow!! what an amazing place!!

I'm so jazzed that now I live close to places like this and the sky here is so gorgeous too.

You and Jen both look great and not just because you are in a mustang.

Spectacular photos, as always! It looks like it was a perfect day for the two of you to be there.

That was, by far, the best day I've had in ages. It reminded me of driving to Denver with you years and years ago.
