So this past weekend Star and another couple went to Zion for Star and Lori's Birthday. We stayed at a "green" bed and breakfast. It was an great memorial weekend. We climbed in the sometimes forgot about north end of Zion on the first day, Kolob Canyon. We hiked in through amazing terrain. We decided to climb on some slabby warm ups and then more steep rock. We ended the first day on some hard slab routes. Very fun day all-in-all.

The second day we did some canyoneering through the Subway. We did the top down option. What an adventure!!! It took us 9hrs. We rented dry suites because of the water temperature and shady sections of the canyon. The beginning was very cool. It was an hour hike through slick rock and a gulch to the start of the canyon. The canyon was amazing. We used our friends camera so I will post photos tomorrow from the Subway. I have to say that if you ever are considering the Subway hike do the top down. The bottom portion is nice but the upper portion makes for a better experience.

The last day we drove through Fire Valley State Park on the way back to NV. What an amazing place. If you have a few extra hours and are on the 15 north of Vegas you must check it out. Just like Red Rock Canyon is a must see too. There are some wonderful looking lines there in the Navajo sandstone. There is a mixture of Navajo and Aztec sandstone. The Aztec is very crumbly and death rock.

Here are some shots with more to come!!
