| Zion National Park
Backpacking September 2003 |

|
Amanda and I on the road to Lava Point, the beginning of our 16 mile trek. |
 |
| We hadn't seen any of the canyon or park. We decided to enter the park on foot as opposed to driving like the rest of the world. This is the first night at Potato Hollow, the spring was dry... |
 |
| After a much needed, long, nights sleep, we awoke to a great sunrise. |
 |
| Our first views of the slickrock from the high plateau and first glimpse of the Zion beauty. |
 |
| Celebratory photos, enjoying the non-everyday life. |
 |
| Our second campsite was at Cabin Spring atop a750' cliff. |
 |
| After the ten miles of backpacking we spent the rest of the day relaxing at the campsite. |
 |
| Here we began to descend the sheer slickrock cliffs down to the main Zion canyon (still 1700' below). Notice the red speck below the white arrow, thats Amanda on the trail. |
