Zion

first view of the valley
found a campsite by the Virgin River
47 degrees but nice to be clean

drinks in the field


rotelli with tomato sauce under the Watchman
the height of the walls was amazing
en route to the top
weird rock everywhere
the walking was vertiginous
Sue happy to be momentarily in chains
looking down the Zion Valley
 we climbed this rocky spine called Angel's Landing
the view south 
and north

Susan negotiating
the Virgin River canyon...
gnarly

requires wading
very cold water
and spooky 
on the way out of the canyon, we ran into families of big horn sheep on the slickrock

and on to Bryce
