We took off from Provo late Friday afternoon and found an INCREDIBLE free campsite outside the park. We were in a "campground," but really couldn't see anyone. We also had an awesome view of a canyon and the boys had fun throwing rocks off the cliff face.
Saturday morning, we were all pumped and ready to hike the Narrows! But we got to the park and they said they were going to close it because of flash flood forecasts... so we were kinda bummed, but we did Angel's Landing instead and it was amazing as always! Check out my last post for our sweet video...
Sunday we slept in, spent time at the campsite (this is when most of the rock-throwing happened) and rode the shuttle all over the park. We also hiked to the Weeping Rock. Daniel and I went slow so we could read all the signs along the trail talking about the wildlife and plants. Did you know that what we call "snake grass" in Idaho has different names in both ZNP and Yosemite? I can't remember the names right now, but that was weird to me. Why can't everyone just call it snake grass??
Monday morning we packed up and headed back to the park to tackle the Narrows... oh and by the way, there was NO rain on Saturday! Anyway, we only hiked part of it since we didn't want to get back to Provo too late. It was a nice little hike and everyone was jealous of our Chacos. As they should be.
A very fun weekend, and a very fun park! We came back this weekend, I'll write about it when I get around to the next post...
