Day 7 & 8- Return to Zion

So we decided to cut ourselves a break and head towards the land of road signs and marked trailheads.
Zion National Park.
Downside: People, and lots of them.
Upside: Knowing where you are at all times without the assistance of orbiting satellites.

First day, we tried the bottom up side of the famous Zion Narrows. Us and about a thousand other people.


Fortunately, the farther you went, more of the herd fell behind. The only notables we couldn't shake were the Boy Scouts and a band of frat boys that really liked to whoop.
Can't recommend this hike enough. Crazy spectacular. And you could take a dip in the river anytime so you never got too hot.

Next day, we really lost the masses by trying a long high elevation hike. Observation Point takes you four miles in and 2500 feet above the Virgin river. Pretty spectacular. And it was fun to watch those less acclimated pant up the path. I love watching other people suffer. It's the only time I pipe up and annoyingly tell people to "Have a nice day!"
Bwahahaha!
