We made it! And no - I did not completely flip out on the plane (pharmaceutical advances made it all possible). We got to Las Vegas around 11:30pm pacific time, rented our Prius (we are oh so trendy and earth-savvy), and spent the night at a hotel near the airport.
This morning, we woke up EARLY and headed out to Zion National Park. We had perfect weather for the first part of the day. It was only around 80 degrees, and skies were clear. We hiked the 2.5 miles up to Angel's Landing, which was absolutely beautiful, although the three foot path with 1000 foot drops on each side was a little bit nerve-wracking. While sitting at the top, a little chipmunk jumped into my lap, begging for food. So cute.
As soon as we made it down from Angel's Landing, a storm blew in, and we ended up leaving a little bit earlier than we had expected. We might try to go back tomorrow if we have time because Travis really wanted to see the Emerald Pools.
We are staying in Glendale, UT at a little place called The Historic Smith Hotel Bed and Breakfast. It's a really cute little place in the middle of nowhere, and we have a front porch balcony where birds are nesting. It's really cute. We will be here for 3 nights as we travel to Bryce Canyon tomorrow and the North rim of the Grand Canyon on Friday.
It is freezing cold right now (apparently it's snowing in Northern Utah), but we are having a great time so far! I will try to get some pics up ASAP.
