The Desert

This past week Kamie and I spent some time visiting a few of the national parks in southern Utah. First was Zion, where we hiked the Narrows (imagine a river running through a slot canyon with 1000 ft. walls).

Random shot from Zion.


Next, we went to Bryce Canyon where we enjoyed some of the cleanest air in the U.S.

Visibility was ~150 miles.


Bryce is also famous for its "hoodoos".


After Bryce came the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument where we did an overnight trip into the wilderness. This 20 mile hike included hiking on rolling rock,



through rivers,



and through a desert.





Oh yeah, we also got engaged here.


The last place we stopped was Capitol Reef, which is a 100 mile fold in the earth's crust.


Our next trip is up north. Check back soon for pictures from there.

Hi Kamie,
Congratulations! This a real cause for some Special K bars. I am so happy for the both of you. Am anxious to meet John. I think he is a lucky man!
I already plan to attend the gala event so I can babysit for
Baby Twomey when he/she needs to sleep.
Congrats again.
Love, Kay (Isaacs)
