St. George

Every spring break, Brayden and I head south for a few days. It's nice to get away and not have to worry about a thing. Sometimes I wish we lived there because it's so warm.

We always go on hikes when we are in St. George. There is a lot of them.
This one was a 2 mile hike round trip into a beautiful canyon.


 

We usually go to Zion's National Park when we are in the area and do a hike. This time we decided to be brave and go on the Angel's Landing hike which was a little over 5 miles round trip.

This sign says that since 2004, 6 people have died falling from the cliffs on this route. Comforting huh??


This photo I found online. I like it because it shows all the switch backs we had to go on all the way up. It was really hard going down. It killed your ankles and knees. The next morning, I could barely move without feeling the soreness in the legs and thighs.










Once you get to this point, there is only a chain to hold onto to get to the very top of the mountain.




We went up this :)


The view over the edge.



This one shows the trail all the way from where we started.













I look huge here but we hiked all the way to that spot.




We stayed with Brayden's grandparents. They love to go on Sunday drives. They showed us a few nice looking houses. These pictures don't do them justice. Until next time St. George!
