Today we hiked Angels Landing in Zion's National Park. It was such a nice day. It started off with a little adventure though. By the way, In and Out Burger just opened here in St. George and the wait is about an hour just for a hamburger. Anyway we went there right when it opened this morning so we only waited ten minutes. To continue....the adventure...We have been to Zion's several times but usually we just drive around and get out when we want. We have never really done a real hike in the park. When we got to the park we bought our pass and drove in like usual. We knew that we were going to be hiking Angel's landing so we turned left to head up the main road into the park. After a while we noticed that there weren't any other cars on the road and there were people walking around everywhere. There were only buses on the road. We started to feel like we were doing something wrong but we kept going anyway. We started looking through the packet of info that we were given at the gate and on the last page of the newspaper they gave us it states that as of April 1, 2008 private cars will not be allowed in the park again until the fall. Thanks for telling us. We were wondering why everyone was staring at us as we drove by. Anyway, we drove all the way back to the entrance to get on the bus like everyone else and luckily we didn't get caught. The rest of the day was perfect as you can see.

I don't think I could ever do that hike. Way to scary. Isn't it? Actually your pics don't look that scary, but the hike sounds so scary to me with drop offs and stuff. I am jealous tho. We haven't been on a long fun hike in forever. Looks fun, cute pictures. And Bryan, you HAVE to tell me how to change the background of my blog title! I love yours! Please tell me before you guys leave. Love ya. Miss ya!
Oh ya, and that is hilarious that you guys drove in. You guys are really blonde aren't you? Did you get a ticket (citation)? You know I'm joking. Love.
