Big shout out to my bro, who turns 30 today!!! Happy b-day Marco!
Here is the wrap-up to our Zion trip...
On Trevor's birthday, which was the 24th, he decided he wanted to turn 31 while hiking out to the Kolab Arch, a day-long trek on the far side of the park, so that is what we did.
7.5 miles later, this is what we got...Kolab Arch, "possibly the largest free-standing arch in the world". It was awesome, although we were a little bummed that we couldn't get any closer than this. Trevor dressing like a tree and blending in to nature.
Aahhh...beauty all around us. Feeling pretty lucky to be another year older.
Back at the car and 15 miles later...a cold beverage awaited. Man, that tasted good and it was well-deserved I might add! We drove back into Springdale and sat in the sun and treated ourself to Mexican food that night too which sounded so much better than our campfire options...and it was! Happy birthday Trev!!!
Our last morning, before we left, we got up early to explore a couple more short hikes we hadn't gotten too earlier. Look at this awesomeness!
Waterfalls and phallic-looking rock spires in the foreground. (I have to admit, I didn't really notice that until now!)
Endless layers of red rock
Bye Zion! You were awesome and awe-inspiring and scary (Angel's Landing, I am talking to you!)...hopefully we will be back again, but either way it was still hard to say goodbye.
