my weekend hike


Me, Rory, Robert, Corey, Mikelle, Collette, Morgan, Tamoyo, Yugi, and Sun traveled down to Zions National Park on saturday to hike Angels Landing. It started out really warm but once we made it up the first set of switchbacks a storm started rolling in. We made it up to the turn around point when half of the group decided to turn back and go back the the truck. We went a little ways further and the rest of the group decided to turn back. Rory and I, however, decided that we didnt come all this way and pay all the money to quit so we continued up to the top. It was a lot of fun. The most dangerous parts of the hike still had snow and ice so they were even more dangerous. When we got to the top we watched the storm that was coming go around us and not even touch us. it was beautiful. We met some guys from Hungary at the top and stopped for a snack. then we slowly slid our way back down the dangerous parts. Then we ran almost the rest of the way down just because we could. It was a beautiful hike and a lot of fun. I was so proud of myself, i didn't need to use my inhaler once :)
