2010 Hikes=Daniel 2 Jamaica 1

There used to be a time when we were on a hike in Zions every weekend, now we're down to 1 all summer for me and Daniel got to go twice! Don't worry. Our lives are FULL! I'm actually in the process of eliminating a lot of stuff! :) So TODAY was MY day! Daniel, Kurt, & Carson graciously let me join them on their outting! We hiked Birch Hollow after a week full of rain. Luckily it really wasn't too wet or muddy!
Daniel, Kurt, Carson
A little team buildingWe have several pictures with different groups on this log, the boys were good sports and humored me with one more photo opp! Notice everyone is wearing long sleeves, it was pretty cool up there, expecially in the canyon. What a BEAUTIFUL Fall day! It was 80 in St. George.Daniel on the last rapell Too Cool Carson "jellyroll" Honey
Curt, your headlights are on!
The Fall colors in Orderville Canyon were GORGEOUS! This should be an annual trip for sure.
There's construction in Zion up the switchbacks to the tunnel and they've repaved beyond the tunnel. So Pinecreek has been closed most of the summer. We saw people starting down today, but I wasn't too jealous because I know how cold it would be! But we did get to be the last car through the tunnel as we must have been in line behind an RV or something, so the Ranger handed us a orange stick to give to the Ranger on the other end showing that he could let traffic through from the other side again. Knowing that we'd be the last ones in and no one was coming the other way either... we stopped at a window and took this picture out the window of the Zion tunnel! :) Not a very exciting picture... but taking it was!!
