Zion National Park

Zion and Bryce Canyon have been on my bucket list for quite awhile and this is the year that I am choosing to make a conscious effort to achieve some of these things. Really, it is a way to keep adventure in the forefront of life. Helen Keller says it well 

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."

Sunrise somewhere in Utah. Trekking to the western side of Utah.

The Virgin River is responsible for the creation of Zion Canyon over millions of years.

Good morning! The lighting was beautiful as the sun was rising.

The girls on the outside cheered and convinced us two in the middle that we could do this and that we would be fine! It was so worth it even though the heights were a bit sketchy :)

Embracing nature and its views

Hanging over a cliff? This girl can handle it!

Looking down on Pine Creek Canyon. It looks insignificant, however, it is a popular technical canyoneering site where some have lost their lives to sudden flash floods.
