Summer has officially started!

One thing I love about Utah is there are so many Outdoor activities to do. And hiking is one of my favorite things to do. So on Friday after I finished work, my friend, Brooke, and I drove down to St George. It was very spontaneous. And went hiking at Zion's National Park, it was free because it was National Parks Weekend. We hiked a few hours on Saturday and then drove back that night. It was so beautiful down there. It was sunny and 80 degrees. I couldn't ask for more perfect weather. Although I have to say the most exciting part of the trip was driving back when Brooke said "Oh no, the gas light just came on. I hope there's a gas station before we run out of gas." FYI, in between Fillmore and Nephi, there are essentially no gas stations. Luckily we made it to a gas station before we ran out but it was a stressful 30 minutes.

This is me and Brooke on the Emerald Pools hike.The pools were beautiful.

And here I am near a very high cliff of the East Rim Trail. I wasn't even afraid. Look, at me conquering my fear of heights. Next fear to conquer: the dark.

I'm jealous of the incline. I love hiking, but here it is all flat. I still do lots of hiking, but it is more like walking.
