Zion National Park

One of the first large hiking extravaganzas I took was a trip to Zion National Park in Utah in October 2010 for a long weekend of hiking and canyoneering. My husband enjoys travel planning and took the lead in booking us flights and hotels.

We spent three days hiking Angels' Landing and the Narrows, cayoneering, and enjoying the town of Springdale.

My husband and I love to travel, but sometimes we realize there are a lot of places in our own area we overlook or never make time for. This Labor Day we took a last minute road trip down towards Charlottesville, VA, Shenandoah National Park, and Luray.
