Fun in Zion National Park
We absolutely loved Zion National Park. We knew it would be one of our favorite spots on our trip. We spent 10 days in Zion and wanted to explore all the areas that we didn’t get to explore on our last west trip. We spent Father’s Day here and had alot of fun spoiling Eric.…

Iceberg Lake
We were in the area hiking so we decided to take on another hike to end our day 1. This hike was at the top of our list only because we’ve seen numerous pictures and blog posts about how amazing this lake is. Iceberg floating in the water…yes, please! Another reason was because I promised…

Glacier National Park Day 1
The month of June has gone by so fast. We’ve had terrible reception in Arches, Tetons, and Yellowstone so I am so far behind on posts. I figure once we get back from our trip in August, I will then update all the fun we’ve had at places above. We are in Glacier and have…

Capitol Reef National Park
We heard from many people that we should visit this national park. We decided to make the few day stop since we were only a few short hours away. Before we arrived at the campgrounds, we always put the address in a special GPS system for trucks/RV’s. We have a 13 foot RV and we…

Bryce National Park
We’ve heard over and over that if we ever traveled out west again, then we’d have to make a stop at Bryce National Park. This park was full of wonder and we hardly have the words for how different it looks in such a great way. It almost feels like you are walking on a…

Rest Day/Zion
We thought we were out of the woods with six days of antibiotics for Cam. Unfortunately, another kid bit the dust. So two more urgent care visits for swimmers ear. We realized it most likely came from the water at Sliderock. We traveled to Hurricane, UT and spent our morning getting all the meds to…

The Narrows-Zion National Park
Out of all the hikes we’ve completed over the years in different states, this hike is OUR FAVORITE! You don’t need a permit for this particular hike. On our last vacation out west two years ago we hiked about 5 miles in. We rented gear from http://www.zionoutfitters.com We rented boots, neoprene socks, and hiking sticks.…

Angel’s Landing Hike Zion National Park
If you’ve ever explored Zion National Park then you know about this hike. This hike is basically a 1,488 foot tall rock formation that leads to the most beautiful panoramic views of Zion Canyon. If you feel the need to take on this extremely dangerous hike, then you will have to apply for a permit.…

Canyon Overlook Zion Trailhead/Pool Day
We have been busy nonstop exploring all parts that Zion National Park has to offer. We had a snag in our plans though when Cam woke up with a terrible ear ache. After an online visit, we determined that he needed meds for swimmers ear. Not sure how an online health apt can determine this,…

Zion National Park-Emerald Pools Hike
Zion is one of our most favorite parks. We have 10 days here and have each day mapped out. The shuttle service isn’t the best, but still thankful we didn’t have to walk to each trailhead. We met some wonderful shuttle operators and many that didn’t love their jobs. Apparently, the national parks system purchased…
